julezee001 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just a quickie to ask if any other HMVF folk are on the run out to Bethune this year? We'll be there with the Militant, an Explorer, and at least 2 fridges for cold beers!! Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Excellent to know there's be some other wreckers there! I'll be there with the WLF, towing a Halftrack and with another HT for company. There's about 10 of us going as a group. Are you camping or hotelling? We'll be staying at the 'new' IMPS campsite. - Mike Edited August 1, 2008 by TooTallMike muppetry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julezee001 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Great! We're camping too, where's the fun in Hotels? It sounds like it should be a good year, with the show back in Bethune. Look forward to seeing you there. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooTallMike Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hey all, so else is going? My truck and the Halftrack are down at the MM site ready to collect on the way to Dover tomorrow late afternoon. We're camping in Calais docks tomorrow night then convoying down to Bethune on Friday and camping at the Stade Carpentiere which should be interesting. Back on Monday afternoon. Looking forward to seeing any other HMVFers there! - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john wheatley (R.I.P.) Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi Gang, I'm on the 2300 sailing out of Dover Thursday, hope the weather picks up, I find it hard enough to find the holding area in Calais docks where we sleep Thursday night when it's dry never mind having to peer through the rain with WW2 windscreen wipers! :shake: Regards, John.

cripp Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I missed the deadline and couldn't get on. :cry: I could have sorted the ferry myself but it worked out a bit pricey for me at the moment. Have a good trip and post plenty of pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markheliops Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I heard France was going to be VERY wet and windy, with temperatures dropping to just above freezing. PS. Have a good time. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
