On July 10-11 1999 eight gallant UKRM-ers, plus three hangers-on, made the first UKRM French run. Weekend in a hotel, heroic quantities of food and drink consumed, and cavalier disregard for all French speed limits. A rough record of the trip is pictured here.

 

These pix were all taken on a small Olympus compact, so bear with the iffy quality.
