Utterly brilliant!

We were originally heading to Wolfsburg for that weekend, before cruising through Germany, Switzerland, and into southern France. However, after spending a hectic month welding in a new floorpan & stiffeners, and fitting Porsche 944 disc brakes, our departure was delayed by a day until the mot was in the bag and the interior hastily refitted!
During an infrequent spell online about a week before this event, I found out about it and thought it would be an ideal halfway house before the Wolfsburg visit. It certainly was - thanks Frank & Jan!
OK, we missed Saturday completely, arriving at De Schatberg from Dunkirk at 2am on Sunday, but later in the morning Jan got us on site and we camped up beside Neil, Steve & Pete. It was a great start to our holidays and we look forward to the next Spijlbustreffen!

Love, Alex, Diane & Eva
