Monday, 8th/Tuesday, 9th June 2009 – Zeltingen-Rachtig, Traben-Trarbach, Bernkastel-Kues, Erden, Wehlen, Urzig, Jezus-Eik, Days 5 and 6 Monday dawned sunny and fine, so we had a late, leisurely and extremely good breakfast.

Travel 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Days 3 and 4
Saturday, 2nd/Sunday 3rd August 2008 – Spa-Francorchamps, Days 3 and 4 The heat continued somewhat abated into Saturday and we all ran round like headless chickens despite the fact that in theory there wasn’t that much left to do.

Well, there’s the greasy…
Travel 2005 – Spa-Francorchamps, Jezus-Eik, Brussels, Belgium
April/May 2005 – Spa-Francorchamps, Jezus-Eik, Brussels Something of a wasted weekend, frankly. As soon as the 2005 calendar was announced, and it became obvious we’d be racing on a number of foreign tracks, I’d been asking anyone who’d listen why it was that we were going to Monza in July when the Italian summer weather…
