We got back at 8 last night. Long old day driving up to Calais and the drive back home.

Huge thanks to you all for your company. An absolutely terrific weekend with a great bunch of guys.

Thanks to Alex for his navigation, we saw som great scenery and sights and it was so much fun feeling like a celebrity as everyone waved and photographed our entourage!

Thanks to Grant as well for organising and inviting us.
