I'm sure that most of you who have been before will have this stuff, but it's well worth double checking, just in case. Anything that you haven't got can be purchased at places like Halfords.

Nice one Ian, I've just been starting to put a list together this week...

Was going to ask about helmets, what are the general opinions??... Seem to see lots of people with them but just as many without!

It is entirely your choice.

Personally I dont wear one, took them on the first year but didnt wear it.

Sometimes I think they may give you a false sense of security and you do need as much vision and to be able to here the tyres squealing .

It is not a race track if you treat it as a country road you will be a lot safer..

Would anyone be interested in a group buy for some octane boost ?.

I have just spoken to Alyn at AS Performance and he can do a Millers octane boost (500ml) for £12.75 or NF Formula for £13.75 + postage depending on how many orders we get.

The thinking behind this is: in the past the Belgium fuel is slightly less potent so it is only required for 150 miles or so as the the Germans have 102 at the pumps in Adenau.

The NF suits me better for other European destinations and track days where the fuel is less than savoury

It is aswell to take your documents.

Hopefully they cant accuse you of nicking the vehicle you are driving.

Crowman knows all about carrying the correct paper work.

Always carry your licence too.

In France it is compulsory to carry all your documents (log book,insurance certificate,driving licence and mot certificate) failure to do so is a criminal offence.If you are stopped by the police it will almost certainly be the first thing they will ask you.

What time are we leaving Hastings chaps. Need to pick my prother up from Pett in the morning so suggest I meet you in the lay by outside Guestling primary school at the bottom of White Hart Hill (The one where trees jump out in front of Evos). Then convoy over to the M20.

I know you guys have probably all seen this, but be a bit cautious on the M25.... especially if you're late and trying to make up time.....

I read this, and had it mind yesterday on the way to and from Leeds castle, I tried to not travel too quick!, hopefully my speed didn't creep up too much... (hopefully its not in full "cash cow" mode yet!....)

I did notice lots of extra cameras on the sides of some of the pillars. It didn't seem to slow a lot of folks I remember being passed by quite a few folks 1 or 2 bikes in particular moving quite quick.

Thanks Gary - I'd seen that as well as was keeping an eye out for them. You can ususally spot them fairly easily even though they're painted grey. I'm sure I noticed cameras mounted on the back of the side gantry signs too, yet no distance markings on the road?

I'd agree with 5am to leave at 5.10 if that works for everyone?

(Could go a little earlier if anyone wants to play it extra safe?? )
