Then I would understand :think: :think: :dunno: Robert Hi Robert, well probably not as old and feeble yet as some might like to think, but I have been doing this stuff for some years now. Here's one of the few photo's I have that I can find from my teenage years when we had a Jeep display team performing at country shows. We used to perform through flaming obstacles, this one is climbing over bales of petrol soaked hay. Surfing on a Jeep shovel towed behind a Jeep through the flames, hanging horizontal with feet on the front bumper bar and a rope through the grill to hang onto and stay in the horizontal position through the flames. A dozen Jeeps racing around in figures of eight and passing at speed through the centre of the eight and hopefully timing it to miss one another ( but not always ) :w00t: . Another episode in a life packed with great fun. ken Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, October 21 2010. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted October 22, 2010 Share #1962 Posted October 22, 2010 Ken I'm not sure if there is a 5 hour or 6 hour time difference between us but either way it is just after 10 Pm or 11 PM in France. I thought your keepers put you to bed way before that time. You aren't one of those that howls at the moon when it is full are you? My wife is a night shift nursing supervisor and she tells me horror stories about people like that everytime the moon is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Apathy Posted October 23, 2010 Share #1966 Posted October 23, 2010 Hey G.A. is it against the law to use metal detectors around the Normandy battle sites??CJ. Hi CJ, as far as I know it's illegal to metal detect without land owners permission, and most farmers with cows are against it as cattle can break legs in holes left unfilled by unthinking people metal detecting or doing it without permisson. Regarding doing it on roadside tracts and what would appear to be council owned land, then the police I am told have the right to confiscate all equipment and that includes the car you carried the metal detector in or the finds that you may have found. Believe me the police here don't have a sense of humor if they believe you are doing anything illegally, hence the very low crime rate around here. ken Norman D.

Glad you had a good time and fine weather too! The outlook for the week ahead is reasonable. Last time I walked along Omaha beach the rain was coming in sideways!! I'm meeting Ken in the square at Ste Mere Eglise on Monday morning. My Citroen is quite frugal so a full tank departing the UK should be sufficient for travelling around Normandy for 5 days. Carrying extra fuel is not as easy as it used to be thanks restrictions imposed in the wake of ******g Islamic terrorist outrages! :mad: Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOhan Two jerrycan's of fuel, Oh no you don't, not on a cross channel ferry you don't, definite confiscation material and possible smacking of the wrist and bottom if caught. :w00t: No problems for you Belgium to France, but not allowed on ferries. ken Norman D.
