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 😆
