This is a very jolly winter Continental rally and it's only 70 miles from Calais.

It's the 50th Sinterklaastreffen and I have heard a rumour that it's going to be the last. Either way it should be a good event.

I'll be there.

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 2019.

I have just booked my chanel tunnel crossing.
Depart, Friday 29th of November at 1220. Return Sunday 1st of December at 1220. Both are local time.
A few of us will be on the above trains.
Cost at present is £69, this will rise the closer it gets to the above dates.
