Easter Holidays

[DITTRICH]

Easter is almost here, so...

What are we all going to do...holiday?...chill at home?

Me?

Eurotunnel to Frankfurt for 5 days to see some family friends.
Wife and child in tow.
Taking the C230K so will see how it **really** performs.

I managed to locate our friend's house using street building numbers on www.viamichelin.com and then aerial photographs on google earth. The "earth" has a nice facility where you can overlay roads onto the photographs - names too if you zoom in. I am going to print out nice pictures of the trickier junctions.
The AA fuel survey - petrol is horrendously priced almost everywhere - except Luxembourg but I'm not going that far south.
Also, eurotunnel has clarified their fuel cannister allowances - max cannister size 10litres, total fuel 20litres for petrol and diesel. Still no LPG vehicles allowed.

Hope you all have a FAB time.

**edit** called our friends last night. I told him exactly what he could see outside his apartment window. It freaked him out a little until I explained. Fun Eh?

They don't let you drive them but make sure you don't eat beforehand cos it can get a little bumpy

While you are out in the desert you should get them to take you to a quad biking place

Make sure you take your camera

Where you staying over there, anywhere nice?

As for Bank Holiday, I will be in London for the weekend then going up to Manchester for a week away from work

[C43AMG]

Taking the C43 to Wales, well just west of Welshpool. It's never been to that part of the World before, it didn't mind Holland France or Spain so it shouldn't mind the land of Beautiful Women and Daffodils.
Lots of lovely bendy country roads where my freinds live and it hasn't had a good run for a while, get rid of all those cobwebs.
Where ever you are going. Just Be Careful Out There.
