Suprisingly my fuel economy increased dramatically with such an uneventful drive home .....round trip of about 360 miles for about £65....means I`ll have to start saving for next year

Yep - Good day out

Shame about the weather

To echo some other posts, great company
(Well apart from my whinging kids! Clearly it was mine or Andrea's fault that they could not go on the beach )

Tiny - I still have your walkie talkie, will drop it round soon

Just want to say Thanks to Tiny and Karen for stopping on the motorway to see if we were ok, and to Robroy and Vikki for the phone call to check on us, unfortunately Max was very Sick, think he had to much milk, he is fine now.xx

Was a great day with fantastic company.xx

Poor little Max being so sick, he is a gorgeous little boy, never seen a child smile so much!!! Hope he is feeling better today.

Wanted to say thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome, I had a great day and I was a bit worried as I didn't know anyone but that didn't matter at all. I hope that we do the trip again. maybe go over before Christmas for a booze run and lunch somewhere?? doesn't have to be a long day as the weather will probably be even colder than it was yesterday!!!

Thanks again guys, we had a fab day

Nikola

Constant flow of people (including Gendarmes) having a good old look and putting grubby mitts all over the cars whilst looking in the windows.

Must say what a great day we all had @ Le Touquet , We just love this place , Though whatever time we leave & head home there never seems to be enough hours in the day to do everything

Shame abouty the wind , But certainly made the power kite flying interesting till the line snapped !!

Great to see Mr & Mrs La La enjoying the trip & being made to feel welcome by everyone in the crew that's what we want

Roll on the next one

We did have a fantastic day

It certainly was windy, mind you I came home with a new Ralph Lauren Rugby Top as I was so cold so I'm not complaining

By the end of the day we certainly didn't feel like the 'newbies' and we too can't wait for the next one
