Sinterklaastreffen 2018 (first weekend in December, Ostend, Belgium).

A really good Continental Winter Rally.

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that rides to foreign field with me and Deadgrass,
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition: (even Lardmarc)
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That rode with us to Sinterklaastreffen 2018.

Good luck with that.

Can I take my campervan? It maybe a little on the cold side to sleep in a tent for my old bones. I'll even leave a glass of Sherry and a Mice pie out for the old boy!

I'm really up for this this year.
But I want to go into Santa's grotto

That's cos you want to see your family helping Santa.

Still time to jump in on this one.

It's very easy to get to. Just make it to Dover/Folkestone for the ferry/tunnel. Disembark at Calais then turn left down the coast motorway for 70 miles.

Dave (deadgrass) and I are using the tunnel; 1220 train on Friday, 1220 train on Sunday. The cost is £79.00 return. Rally entry for the weekend is only 15 euros, pay on arrival, no need to pre-book.

Ostend is a very charming town nowadays and this is a very civilised, well organised and long established rally.

wish yud not started your last post with

easy to get to,

dave.

And therein lies a tale?
