Five hours if you don't go wrong getting through Rouen! Great instructions are available on this site, which I recommend printing off. I've been going 23 years and still dread the Rouen section of the trip. Have a safe one, and see you there!!

Looks like it'll be a good 'un  

Any better Matt?

Hi Matt - We've got duellin' Disco's heading to Houx this year (me and Nick) so we've got shed loads of space to ship all the kit down (fridge, gazeebo, Coolio, generator etc...). The Blackpool Bomber is currently taking root in a franchised dealer in Sussex with a high price tag and a very low rate of return for yours truly! At least it's had a blast down the N138, and thank god it wasn't the wet bastard in 2001! We need to get our heads around the champagne shipment for the weekend's glug-fest. Who's starting the bidding?

Vast improvement on the old CA forum. Well impressed! (Matt - a very funny account of the 'shrimpfest' by the way!)
