This will be our first long trip. I just hope I have timed it all right so that we can reach each hotel before its too dark/late.

Ah of course as I said on cccuk (c5blo) I'm glad you walked out of that.
what about the c5?
is that anywhere near roadworthy?
and you were saying you fancied the new grand sport!

Good man, 5 of us going with Travel Destinations, (second time for the classic). Great fun, the 24 hr is great but it has changed and attracts an element that don't understand when to "cool it", so we do the classic now, also, Laon last year and Zolder was ace.
