he does that :-)righto... on the day, text me when you debarque on this side of the channel... takes about 2.5 - 3 hours to my place.
before you roll off the ferry.. check for dandys' gloves ... housekeys... etc
Mrs G is a bit disapointed not to be attending the RTT this year so she will be well chuffed when you lot turn up on our doorstep :-)
cakes it is :-)

its 243km from my place to Rupertshofen
you guys wanna motorway it or want a lil detour into the Ardens? Francorchamps? Luxembourg (cheap fuel+alcohols...)
fastest route : motorway : 240km 2.5hrs
could do a small detour into Lux and then rejoin the motorway
if we go native, with only some motorway its gonna take a bit over 4hours
