can anyone give me some pointers to taking a minibus across france/belgium/holland to landgraaf. I know theres all sorts of paperwork, but if anyone has any experience of this and has a few moments to drop some points down that would be fantastic.

I regularly travel back and forth from the UK through France / Belgium and the Netherlands in a minbus with work.
As long as your drivers have the correct passenger license (if you have more than 8 seats in the minibus), your motor insurance covers you for Europe, you have adequate breakdown cover and everybody has passports then it is as simple as driving your own car.
You should only get docs checked at the channel because all the countries are Schengen. However, if in a minibus then we regularly get pulled over when entering The Netherlands for a quick passport check. No problem though as you will have your passports anyway.
I reccomend Landgraaf, they have good value deals on most nights of the week, and apres ski parties at the weekends. As I live nearby I tend to head there or to the similar fridge in Neuss about once a month. Fun times.

You'll need to Register first of course.

already owned minibus, i know i can drive it on an 'own account certificate' and we seem to have the ins and breakdown covered, we are getting the tacho fixed and sealed on monday, and usual stuff re flour jackets first iad kits bulbs etc. we are taking a group of kids race training there, i went last year its a fantastic place, and from 1st july one slopes set up purely for race training. was just worried as someone was giving me the 'scaries' over the french police looking for any chance to jump on you
