Hi - have a look on the http://www.viamichelin.co.uk/ site. It takes you to Reims as well.

Safe journey!

Great! We're heading off to St.Gervais on Thursday:thumbup: 5 sleeps to go!

Boiled Sweets, preferably all blackcurrant as there will be no arguing! :thumbup:

Don't worry - sweets are on a different list. Chocolate limes for me & anything else OH & Small don't like! :wink:

I'd leave some passengers out if space is tight.
You could have a competition based on behaviour and size of xmas pressie to help choose!
:thumbup:

I would swap a passenger for a fire extinguisher any day...

Isnt a fire ext a bit of a step too far? My engine is on fire I will need running shoes not a fire ext. Unless it is BCF (that they dont make anymore) the rest will ruin your engine (C02 wont be as bad but dont hold the end) Just throw snow at it!

:thumbup:

:evil: It's only a small extinguisher! It might seem like a long list, but everything packs into a smallish box. Forgot to add the red triangle, but that lives in the car all the time. "Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it". :thumbup: What would you leave out - apart from the extinguisher?

Forgot to say ,there's lots of information on the internet about driving abroad, rules, regulations, snow chains etc.

I hope to be skiing on the 24th December - & I think that's a brilliant idea! Even if there's no snow & I can't ski, I still think not being here is a brilliant idea!!
