magicpockets Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I thought it would be cool to start a thread ahead of next weekend's adventures which we can update as a kind of log of the trip, games we play and people we meet - and also whether my Smart Car survives. So here it is! For those of you who don't know (assuming you also don't care ), here's what's happening - * Friday evening we head up to Leeds from Milton Keynes (150 miles / 250km) * Saturday 10am we take part in the Leeds tournament until about 5pm * Saturday evening we drive down to Folkestone (275 miles / 450km) and stay in a "quaint" hotel * Sunday morning we get the Eurostar to France and then drive to Burning Tree in Belgium (120miles/200km) for another 4 round tournament * Sunday night we drive back across Belgium, France and into the UK to come home (290 miles/460km) arriving Monday early morning * Monday night we're back at our local club for more Malifaux! So that's a 835miles/1360km round trip in all - not counting driving to our local club The plan is to update with pictures and reports along the way, but we'll see how that goes - especially on the Sunday Any ideas for soundtracks and/or radio stations in France/Belgium very welcome! - Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 A nice idea for a thread and best of luck on the journey! And in games, too, but if I have understood correctly, you don't need much luck in those Which faction are you taking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, and I always need good luck I'll be playing with my new Hamelin crew (apologies all round in advance) and Ash (Drake) will be taking his Collette crew (and I'll apologise on his behalf now too ) Good Luck dude!
