DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

As i haven't been able to do a proper trip for sometime - this is going to be fun!
Taking Flachbau as this is what we
built her for ( although I wish I added CR aircon - will do so when GWC have some workshop time!
)
Left Ardrah at 1000 on Tuesday for 1600 Dublin> Cherbourg ferry
-30kms west of Dublin suddenly the motorway became a skid pan- after two hours of local thunderstorms - spent 60 mins crawling around M50 but made it on time
I asked to be loaded on the freight deck having had bad experiences with ferry ramps in the past- so FB traveled with 10 lorries of horses en route to racing in France
