Virtual Font trip
February 21, 2021, 09:12:30 pm
So, Andy Owen just did a virtual ski tour on Twitter this weekend. I really enjoyed the sillyness of it.

Who's joining me for a virtual trip to Font?

We'll be meeting at The Broadfield and piling into cars tomorrow morning.

Can someone sort some accommodation out?

See you all tomorrow

Drivers so far - Ian Harrison is taking his Lotus. There's no way I'm getting in that. Jasper is taking his Golf, but he might not be up in time to catch the ferry.

Can DT90 and Cupboard take their 205 GTis ?

The imaginary weather forecast is perfect.

We've got a whole week in Font and probably no rain.

I've got some day tickets for fishing  on the canal in front of the palace if anyone fancies that on a rest day

Fishing is tempting but in virtual font I reckon I'll be able to climb all day, every day as if it's the first morning.
Maybe an early morning session or two before climbing would work.

To answer the anonymous question from anonymous

Yes, you can bring anything you want. There will be no border or customs checks

Let me know when you get there - and I’ll join you for a coffee and pastry.

I'm on the overnight ferry from Hull. Will be losing signal soon. Arriving zeebrugge at 7am, there'll be no traffic and all the speed cameras are broken so I'll be there before lunch.
Have had the maid do the shopping so fridge will be full and we can go straight to the crag.

Looks good for keeping the tan tip top, I assume Adam L is travelling with you, or did he just lend you his van?

My wife will be meeting me at Le Moulin Rouge in Paris on Wednesday evening. We've got tickets for the show.

I'm pretty sure we can get a few more tickets on the UKB promotion scheme

Surely. Being at Le Castellet circuit to lay down some rubber of my Norton Domiracer, Font comes very handy. Call me two hours before you leave for ze rocks.

And it's not just a Golf, it's a GTI245 Performance. Which will be a lot of fun to drive on the French roads.

I have unfinished business at Isatis btw.

Me, footwork, dunnyg, 36C and fifteen pads in a Skoda Fabia hatch. Just on the A1, getting the ferry at 1am. Gonna do the Pregnant Horse Parabola to get around Paris, arrive at the campsite at 5am, and sleep in the car for an hour. Quick round of mini golf in the morning, then the patisserie, then we're going to burn off some Italian kid in bright trousers and slag each other off loads.

Psyched  :punk:

I can’t make the trip, can’t get out of work commitments.  Can someone please bring back some various french pastries from the restaurant near Elephant please?
