Le Mancs Classic Blat 2023

[Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator]

Next Tuesday @W Shep @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO @Jim cunliffe @Terryathome and me @Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator will meet up at a greasy spoon somewhere near Knutsford to start a 11 day blat down through Wales to Newhaven, across the channel to France, down  to Le Mans to soak up the Classic followed by a road trip up through Germany (via Nordschleife for a couple of laps😎) and Belgium to Rotterdam for the Ferry back to Hull .. what can possibly go wrong 😅

 

Here are the proposed routes that we probably will not use 😆

Back at the hotel tonight at Trowbridge some faring better than others 🤣

[Terryathome]

Arrived at the 1st Hotel in the UK but on the way down we passed a farm where the cattle crossed the road. Marcus was late to see it and ploughed through it. So he had to wash parts of his car, little did we know he smuggled his wind deflectors into the hotel. Here he is washing em.
