If its well hidden I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If its a clip on one then leave it in place untill getting tugged.

I had the same chat with Maddog about using detector abroad, and apparently, the police don't like them
Someone Maddog knows took his out there and the french police made him run the detector over with his car and he got fined!!

Itenerary ...

Dont want to plan to much of the trip , As it's better with nothing planned & just see what happens

But just to clarify a few things for Day 1 ...

1 . Meet @ Thurrock services @ 5-30am ( We need to leave no later than 6am , Hopefully 5-45am Will be a better time )

2. Arrive @ Folkstone & Board Train ( Please no Flaming within the vicinity of the channell tunnel or on the train , As we found out on Sat night )

3. Exit the Train & Head straight to " HOTEL Ginge Dunton " ( Here we can meet up with Steve , Have a drink & un wind , Steve's hotel is on our route & is 1/2 Hr away from the Ring .

4. Go Karting @ The Ring ( Time depending )

5. The Ring - This is open from 17-15pm To 19-15pm IIRC , So time to get a few laps in , TBH We do not really want to leave to late away from here .

6. Travel to Trier & Hotel ESC / WRC - This is just over 1 Hour from " The Ring " - Get checked in , **** , Shave & Shower & Head out to " Park Fermee " / Town square have a few beers

This is going to be a brilliant trip cannot wait

See you all bright & Early on Thursday Morning ..

*** Please remember that most of you owe me £36.50 Ea ( Shirt & Radio hire ) Please can you try & have the correct money with you on Thursday morning , So this can be sorted as quickly as possible ***

We are using private PMR from about 166.000, however they are DTMF(sp?) toned, and I don't know what our tone code is. If you scanner can scan for codes you should be able to find this out though
