That's a shame docmark. Hopefully sunny can fill the yellow shade for us then - ought to in the bright sunshine of the Vendee region.

Well, where else would you have put me?

Are we up to ten yet Tim?

Still stuck at 9 Abs.

Sunny I see you as in between yellow and orange.

Yellange?

They call it mellow yellow.

Back to the matter in hand, we still need a 10th BraziBay on this trip to get us to our target. We're still definitely going with 9 but it just would have been great to get into double figures and it would lower the combined costs.

Thanks to those of you who have been in contact to say why you can't come along having said you wanted to in the early stages, I appreciate it.

We've made it!!!

HelenBay takes us up to the Top 10!!

This is going to be epic!

Well done everyone - especially Tim - really envious that Scooby cannot make it.
Doo try to take lots of pics and video footage for all of us to see.
Hope you will also consider producing daily Blogs whilst away.
It should be a FAB trip.

Great news and a big thank to HelenBay for completing the set.

And to Tim of course for all his work - definitely not thankless Tim!

Brilliant news.

'Cause we got a little ol' convoy
Rockin' through the night.
Yeah, we got a little ol' convoy,
Ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on and join our convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way.
We gonna roll this kombi convoy
'Cross to La Foret!

10-4 good buddy...

Are you sure you can't 'adjust' your plans to join us, be great if you could ......??

So that's 3 Airbuses v 7 AquaBays.

Let's hope the watercoolers can keep up with the airwagens!

Actually, they will, because the Airbuses will be stopping more for fuel!!

There's room for more folks so if you still want to come say so VERY soon!

Sorry Tim, not enough holiday entitlement left and others in the office have holidays booked then as they have kids!

Might have been able to do something if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

My preference in the style of Typically Tropical's Going to Barbados ...

Woah, we're going Kombi Kruisin'
Woah, to the sunny French Vendee
Woah, we're going to have a funtime
Woah, in our ten colourful Kombis!

I do want to be a bus driver, all my life.
But I've seen too much of Rainy town in the night.
Sail away on Kombi Busways
fly me high
Vendean sky.

And there I was about to totally muller McCall's song


Was after breakfast on 18th of August
In A yellow BraziBay
Big Red Tim in his GT
And late comer HelenBay
We is headin south for the A-8-3
'Bout a mile outta St Malo
I says, "TimV this here's Sunny
And I'm about to put the hammer down."

I certainly think a set of walkie talkies will be in order!

Looking at the route, I reckon we can avoid paying any tolls too really. We'll discuss this further ....

I'm sure we can avoid Tolls if we want to - there's no rush and maybe we can set a few pre-set stops in case the Kombi Konvoy gets split up.
