I was trying to encourage him out earlier, not give him the opportunity to lay in later...

Yes would be good to leave a little earlier Thought we could make a decent runout of the trip maybe down to south coast and a run along coast road.

Thanks Stuart.
So if Al gets in at 8:00 he will be at Potagny for late breakfast, and we arrive in France 10:30 so will be there for Lunch around 12:30
Hour for lunch, meet the luxury travel team,
3 hours to the beer store, so quick shop and at the camp site for around 18:00, unless we have a technical problem 
If we all send updated contact details to HoE they can be circulated with the tickets

Potigny  Not on my route 
I'm planning a leasurely D and N road route (touring Al ), breakfast in Honfleur and early lunch in Gace.
Possibly meet on the N138 south of Alencon? What's your eta?
Kinda looks like I have a lot of time to waste as I could be some two hours ahead.
We're bound to meet up at some point - even if it's at the campsite

Looking at the crossing time from Portsmouth it gets in at 13:00 two and a half hours after us, so no chance of meeting at lunch time in Potigny.
May have to meet at the Arnage Supermarket? (would be good for carrying beer the last mile) Or at the camp site?
As long as we do not erect the tents until the Campervan is on the pitch we should be OK.
What do you all think?

Looking like Andrew and I will go to campsite, pitch, dump stuff before shopping, If we know all the pitch numbers we can go on an end one, leaving space for campervan?

Hi Al
I think it's time to really get excited, especially when you look at the cars that are entered. What do you think is the value of the race cars listed?
