My roomshare also tells of problems, he had to share with someone else at 1am...he also says take probans as ones supplied are for midgets, think I'll stick mine in just in case

I had already decided to put mine in the suitcase just in case

Sounds like its a good job I've lost a bit of weight! I really don't fancy wearing my bob's all weekend...i'm likely to melt!

**Stephen Green** · 23 Oct 2009, 05:23 (Ref:2567640)

The problem is they would be pretty obvious where personal 'oranges' would be less noticeable. Still, it's never a bad thing to have lost weight, I've lost a few pounds recently too

Have you been gambling again Stephen?

**Stephen Green** · 23 Oct 2009, 06:46 (Ref:2567668)

no

OK, Tom, Dick and Harry won't be a problem but we need still a cooler king, and a few tunnel kings but i'm sure we can deposit the spoil onto the runoff area's we just need to hide it in our pockets...

Does anybody know of the local train times and what travel documents we will need to get to Switzerland...

Note they are raised off the ground so any spoil from the tunnels will be noticed. There's no veiw of the wire fencing so we can't tell how high it is or how far the guard towers are apart - hopefully there will be a blind spot so don't forget your wire cutters... ( with appologies to The Great Escape

)

Looks as though there are no computor terminals or WiFi either as i'm sure one of them would have posted something by now.

White Flag Man will be there to dig the tunnel, i know he likes digging.

I believe that Flight Lt. Colin Blythe will be staying in the same buildings, he has a role as an observer for the duration.

I'll pack my baseball mit and ball along with my BOBs just in case.

Hey all

Ive just returned from Abu Dhabi due to my father being taken ill

A couple of pointers:

The accomodation is adequate - as long as they have finished cleaning all the huts and assembling the beds by the time you get there! I wouldnt say they are refurbished tho!

There isnt a washing machine but we seem to think there maybe a laundry service - my advice get travel wash from boots and rinse things out in the sink as there are areas to dry clothes

The kettles have 2 pin plugs on them an adapter may be needed

There is no wifi but an internet cafe round the back of the compound (it is like auf weidershen pet!!) and a small supermarket

Best advice is be a boy scout and be prepared!

It was a nightmare when we arrived but they are doing their best to sort it. I would also like to thank barc for getting me back to the UK so swiftly. The circuit is amazing and i hope you all have a fantastic time!!!

**Stephen Green** · 23 Oct 2009, 14:16 (Ref:2568004)

I am sorry that you had to come home so early and that your father makes a full recovery. Many thanks for the pointers etc, I look forwaard to being there on Wednesday...

These red shoes, they don't have curly toes do they?

Hope you all have a great time, the circuit looks great.

Make the most of it all of you... but from my previous experience it is unlikely to be a big 'jolly' or a holiday... except for those 'in favour'', It can be very hot so drink plenty of water.. and try and learn the language from some of the natives.. particulalry the swear words as they will come in useful when you return... Take care and as always remain safe.
