Don't follow me Klaus - Lyn will be navigating so will probably not get past the "How to read ..." at the beginning. She has many wonderfull attributes and I love her dearly but reading maps or following tulips are not on the list.

Same here with my co-driver.
This is why I bought my first SatNav device 13 years ago. So who's going ahead now ? :thumbsu:

I have to admit (begrudgingly) that the Leader of the Opposition (Barbara) is very good with map or roadbook & very rarely makes mistakes which is no surprise when she is always right :lol:

I have followed Neil when His Dearly Beloved has been directing (navigating doesn't really seem adequate with Barbara) and she has led us off the designated route. However, it has always been the fault of bad routing and Barbara has taken us a better way.

The best co driver is Bruce, he never make mistakes, he ever sleeps near Bruno, hahaha
Now i have a problem, perhaps Bruno is leading, so we can eat and drink more till the other Drivers come the restaurant, or i drive behind John, so perhaps i can have any extra Miles :lol:
When i remember at MGFIM11, our Group drives 40 Miles more like all others, and it was so cool, hahahahah
It will be so nice to see the Family on Friday again :thumbsu:

We do like to find the odd coffee shop or two to us its all part of the holiday if needed we will press on but would sooner see a few sights on the way incorporating a few unplanned deviations.

Maybe we can get Klaus to lead for that section? At least he won't get lost.

In case you aren't checking your emails - Pascal has just sent a revised Roadbook and a Timings page.

I've checked the revised road book and "Lampertheim-Hofheim" doesn't appear in it. Last chance we had to get Klaus to lead has now gone.

Hopefully everybody has received the revised version as I was confused when I read the first version.

Claude is organising a table in Larochette for 16 of us on Sunday night, we're not going to the Portuguese restaurant but the one in town we used in 2009. If you don't want to go please let him know.

Dawn is brilliant at navigating, however when she navigates I drive and I can't take pictures :(
