Well what a fantastic trip, a big thanks to Roy Snook for organising it for everyone. Much fun was had by all, despite a few car problems (not just my own).
Cheers Roy
From my own perspective, a big thanks also to all those who (once again) helped me with the problems with the car. Especially to one of our party who helped me massively, only to end up in hospital (viral infection) and miss most of the actual event and could not return with us. I wish him a speedy recovery & return home.
Anyway, nobody seems to have posted any pictures as yet, so I am going to put some up. Not all of them by any means, but just a selction that reflect some of my own experiences of the trip. |

Our setup on the camp site. Actually there were 3 further tents opposite, plus some more + cars & camper to the side too (see next pic).
Good job Roy left his door open to hide the Marcos at the back (sorry Ken)! | |

The Town Square in Bouloire, where we all congregated at a restuarant for a meal on the Thursday night. | |

Our table in the restaurant. Clockwise from bottom left: Tony Hunt, his son Andrew, Ian Anderson, his mate Mike, and my mate Paul. Ian/Mike forgot to say thanks above for your hospitality at the club stand before we went out on the track.
There were about 5 tables used between everyone, with about 35 people attending. | |

Entrance to paddock 5, where the later GT40s were. I'm not going to post the 40 or so pics of the '40s in the paddock at present. | |
