Start planning the Buggy trip over  and get the ferry booked

A few of us are over from the 4th June to the 10th June so planning a few trips after the show .

One day we could have a trip to BBT VW Store -  https://www.bbt4vw.com/

just had a quick look at best driving roads in Belgium to get some ideas so this would be after IBW

We still need interested parties for Harwich thursday ferry and folks back on the ferry or touring then channel route home or discounted prices will be unavailable

Do remember Tesco club points can be used for the Ferry or the Leshuttle. £5 in vouchers gets £10.. I just did my car and it was sub £200 so can be done for £100 return! with points  Dunkirk is less ballache/customers and gets you up the road more then Calais  .. I may lose my licence in May!!  So if I can go it will be last minute!

Talking to folks we have
one Harwich out returning via Hull with added days in Belgium then race to the waves
3 harwich out and back or dunkirk with added days
a group Hull out and back some with added days

a good mismatch of journies but we ideally need a full list so booking can be sorted
