NL18-B Assen BSB

So.

We have ordered three tickets for the race weekend. 

Claire and I will go in the car and Neill on his BMW, I expect. Before then he had a trip to Canada to fly in the Lancaster bonber.

Before we make any firm travel plans I have booked the leave from work and Reggie is booked into Wyncot.

We need to sit down with Neill and see what his plan is for the journey up. He won't want to be contrained by the progress a car can make especially when the roads get a bit busy.

We have to take Reggie to Wyncot. That is easily an hour round trip from home on nasty narrow country lanes. I don't want to be thrashing it all the way there to wherever the hotel at the Assen end is located.

I think we'll be looking at around an 11am Shuttle. Anything not to be around Antwerp at lunchtime or evening rush hour. That place is a bloody nightmare through the tunnels and merging highways.

The Insignia has a range of about 650 miles to a tank of diesel and so there should be no problems in that area. If we go by Corsa then the ball game changes with a smaller petrol tank.

So a few things to be sorted.
