Got home around 10:15 last night after jumping on an eariler ferry. Have just about cought up on the sleep but havent even started unpacking the car yet
Will pobably taek me a few day to sort through all the pics but will get them online ASAP.

[Keith Williams]

Got home around 10:30 after a brief stop at Oxford services last night. Car into garage and just walked away from it and then fell into bed and then slept through until now. Can't say I have had enough sleep yet but need to unpack the car and try to get sorted. Pictures & thanks will follow shortly for a great two weeks on the road. It seems strange driving as a solo F now but it is only two weeks or so before the next F weekend

[Neil Rushton]

We got home at 2am after a couple of stops.
Was a really good couple of weeks, thanks to all who had any input on the organisation, it was superb.
Did seem a bit strange driving on our own after 2 weeks of keeping your eye on who's in front & whos's behind!!!

[colintf]

glad you all got back ok - seemed very strange driving back without any other F's / TF's and no radio contact!

What a fantastic 2 weeks - great company and stunning scenery / drives.

Now the difficult bit, remembering all those that need to be thanked!!

Thankyou to : -

mgf.be for the Day Before - fantastic day enjoyed by all!

You have to play the CD every Friday!!!

Good to see and read that everyone got back home safe and that you all enjoyed the trip!

[colintf]

great pics Keith!

[Herbie]

Glad you're all back home safe

Keith, your pics are absolutely stunning. Many thanks for sharing.
Now I know that I should've done the trip as well *grrr*

[adrianclifford]

Only 2453 miles for us.

But I've got 1562 pictures to go through so I can put some up.

Thanks to all for making the trip, without the people there is no event or story to tell. Considering the heat, the distance, the climbs and descents the cars stood up to it very well .

Looking forward to Wales so we can all meet up again.

Now for Norway 2009

Dave and i would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those who joined us on both the Kempenrit and EEOY trips especially Adrian Claude Kasper and Dieter whose huge amount of input in order to get it all together helped make it the resounding success that it was.
I must say for our MGF family of 11 that carried on to the EEOY the greatest piece of onboard kit proved to be the RTs yorkshire and lancashshire wit lively banter great cameraderie what more can i say.
Thank you one and all for a truly wonderful magical mystery tour.(there i just had to add that beatle theme) oh wot a night that was!!!!!!!

Likewise we also arrived tired but happy back in Northants at 10-20 parked car in garage and hit the hay loads of unpacking washing(both clothes and car left till Sunday)

Would just like to say a big thank you to everyone involved in the great european tour. Special thanks to the organisers both from home and our European friends who all helped with routes, accomodation, special forms etc. etc. and just making sure that we had a wondeful time. It was great to see old friends along the way and the group as a whole were great company and we were lucky to have almost trouble free MGF's - we actually drove 2658 miles. The scenery was stunning and the passes were fabulous - how many did we do, did anyone count? Again, thanks to all you organisers we could not do it without you!!
