Don’t go to the pub, sit in and watch A Touch Of Frost or something with a cup of tea and a biscuit, Hobnobs or Rick Tea, and be ready to pounce on the internet at the stroke of eleven o’clock.

• But before Frost, Hobnobs and tea you need to download and fill out the entry form www.trans-provence.com/TRANS-PROVENCE_2013_ENTRY_FORM.docx
• Fill it in.
