    Smile Blackpool and plans ...............

    Now that we are getting close to the event, I assume that everyone now has detailed plans. I am going up to Blackpool on the Thursday would be great to meet up with people on the Friday, I know there is the evening do is anyone up for the Pepsi Max ? On the Saturday I am on the 1:35 ferry from Dover to Calais then in Paris booked a hotel 150m from the Eiffel tower. So Sunday who is up for a beer ? Staying in Paris Sunday night then Monday down to the landing beaches and a 10:30 ferry from Cherbourg for an over night crossing back to Poole. Look forward to seeing you all in Blackpool, Paris and on the road.

    If I'm not in Holland then I may well be able to ride up for a beer on the suday...
