"And the prospect of a drive after the race down to the new huge bridge across that valley" Hope you have a head for heights, it's about 350m up in the air, I've parachuted from a lower height  We are going over it in August, looking forward to it. Agree with you Perdu, my first visit was 2002, and I don't care if it was better before, it's still awesome, and I'll be back every year that I can make it. |

I don't think the altitude will be a worry Howdya think I got dodgy knees? More likely worrying persuading Gwyn that it will be a cool way to pass the time before the MG weekend in the Westerwald, or I may have to get two "tinworm" tickets under the Channel. Home then back again next weekend to Germany seems a waste. Dunnit? Huh?  Still there's always Speederries.  |

Hi Perdu, If not that surely you can come up with something she would like to do in France Belgium Switzerland, all on the way to Germany. Saw a TV show on how they built it and pushed it out over the abyss. Base jumping anyone NO NO not me  Terra Firma for me.The more firma the less terror Canada Phil |

Base jumping anyone There was a documentry on the building of the Pont du Millau a couple of weeks ago on C5, amazing construction methods used for the roadway. Included film of the first base jump off it, which was before the official opening. |

And the prospect of a drive after the race down to the new huge bridge across that valley,
Bill, I drove across the Millau Viaduct on Boxing Day 2004 when some of the support pylons were still in place. It's an amazing piece of engineering and asthetically very pleasing. It's height is breathtaking - especially when you see it from the valley below. Go! |

How bloody big is Beausejour this year?? Any time now I can see it swooping across the whole of Southern Europe and nibbling away at Africa. People camping in the far end may well have to set off in April. |

I think they are hoping it'll be a big boy soon and able to replace Home for us and the Cobraboys when they turn HA into a footie stadium car park. Buggerem!

Roll on June. The French roads, sunshine and dust, beer that refuses to get cool enough, madness on the roundabouts at HA. Red hot chili cooking for hours on the gazrings, ice in lumps from the gippos in dodgy old vans. Carrefour for the sheer amazement... Get pissed on warm lager, get hayfever, get sunburnt, get tired and have the best weekend of your life. Hmmm, that sort of proves my point Perdu, neither you or VQdave actually mentioned the racing... H |

H Hmm would that have something to do with those far off engine noises one hears at night occasionally? The ones that drown out the odd sixty zillion decibel GD blasts from Stuart's CD player in his car? Canada Phil? >>something she would like to do in France << I didn't give the impression that SWMBO would be there did I? Oops, sorry! No just me... Dammit it's ME that's retired!  |
