well there is a couple coming from the midlands also..im sure we can sort something for the thursday night to get you down this way if you wanna come ..and you also les!

Weekend passes are in short supply Reefer, but I'll see what the Boss says

Let me Know the dates if you don't mind. If it's ok i'd like to come if the invite is open (it's 5 hours to Dover for me).

I have access to a place in France which is not too far down (Near Le Mans in the Mayenne).Lots of good roads and a huge BBQ.
And somewhere to swim too.

I tried to post a pic but it won't let me.

Put me down for it, mate. I may use it as the first bit of a longer holiday, and just carry on at the end.

paul..send me the pic if you want and ill sort posting it for now

reefer@blueyonder.co.uk

im waiting to hear back from someone on the dates they can make..as soon as i know ill post it up

just a thought but if anyone is thinking of coming but unsure about coming down this way on thursday..travelodge or traveinn..not sure which do a £10 and £25 special on advanced booked rooms.. so you could if you wish shack up for the night just a few miles away from the chunnel

Count Jan & I in too...(Obviously subject to date- but very flexible...LOL)

Akuji... 4 hours from the chunnel ??? You're not in your truck now you know...LOL You can spend Thursday night with us if you wanna come along.. We live in Kiddly Minister just off the M5 west of Brumijam... Easy run down from ours

Cheers,

Rolfy

Thanks Rolferoo but i have my kids on saturdays so unless it's on a bank holiday (so i can have them on the monday instead) i'm fooked, if i was in me truck i wouldn't need a bed anyway Me new truck has been delivered to our yard - all mine in two weeks yippeeee

Meeshy and I are interested and might go depending on the dates, so once that's finalised and posted will let you know.

just in case anyone is getting ideas ...........



please leave the at home as it will cause us no end of problems at customs

friday 16th of june to sunday 18th of june

THESE DATES NO LONGER APPLY..PLEASE SEE REVISED POSTING BELOW

Sounds good to us... Jans birfdy on the 19th, so a good excuse for a piss up...LOL

Count us in.

Rolfy

You can pencil me in too but only if i can stay at rolfys on thurs night.

What time will we be back in blighty on sun cos i need to know if i need mon off work

We will be prebooking a hotel somewere in the area 80 miles west of lemans, this will give us a good base for the rideout saturday to go in any direction we choose
the distance is approx 340 miles once we leave the train, we will be using the D roads pretty much for all of the route and that sort of mileage will be a good days ride at a moderate pace,everyone will have full details and a map printoff of the routes etc, so if you feel you wanna go ahead or hang back at a nice spot, or we split into 2 groups or whatever then thats not a problem
day 2 will consist of a rideout that we all have as say on at the friday night meal..if you just want to stay behind and chill or go off and do your own thing than thats fine, day three the sunday will be an early start heading back for the train and home, at a rough guess we will be looking for a train time for about 7pm french time..which is one hour ahead of uk time so all things being well we will hit uk soil (rubber side down hopefully ) at approx 6:30pm leaving enough time for everyone to arrive home at a decent time for work monday, we can judge what time to leave by how long it took us to get there and adjust our setoff time accordingly
if your up for it please post on here and ALSO send me a email reefer@blueyonder.co.uk with the heading "FRANCE"
all comms will now be done off forum via email

XXXXXXXX PLEASE NOTE THE NEW DATES ARE 23RD JUNE TO 25TH OF JUNE (FRI-SUN) DUE TO THE LEMANS 24 HOUR BEING ON THE WEEKEND OF THE 17TH xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CLOSING DATE FOR THIS WILL BE 11TH OF MARCH as we need to get deposits down for the hotel and train tickets purchased

hotel has been sorted!
cost is 90 euros all in for the 2 nights
that price is PER ROOM for any single, double or twin all on suite
there is a bar/restaurant
breakfast is buffet style@ 6,50 euros per person
they are pet friendly tim..@ cost of 3,80 euros per night extra
you can make your own bookings via the net as they have lots of rooms available
few of us are staying at a hotel close to the tunnel on the thursday night for a short trip to the chunnel friday morning
so if you wanna pair up with someone and book a twin room you will be looking at about £20 a night with your brekkie..cheap as frites
please contact me for details

Put me on the list please Reef - If anyone wants to pair up for the thursday night hotel stay then please pm me (even you tim ). Will be travelling down after work on thurs so will try and finish as early as possible.

Reefer, Meeshy and I have time off booked that whole week, 19th June to 25th. We are planning to be somewhere in France and/or Spain from the weekend before and although there are no plans whatsoever yet, I'm thinking of timing it so that we could perhaps meet up with you in France on the 23rd or 24th. I'll discuss it with Meeshy when she's back from Scotland tomorrow and once we've got more solid plans will liase with you, nearer the time.

If its of any interest to anyone, I'm travelling on after the weekend. My rough itinerary is as follows:

1/2 days - travelling to Andorra past Biarritz and down the Autoroute du Sol

2/3 days - in Andorra, probably at the Hotel Paris-Londres, because they give free room upgrades

2/3 days - travelling east along the South Coast with one night in the Camargue to see the wild horses. (Sorry Tim, they don't do French )

2 days - Travelling home via the route Napoleon.

If anyone wants to join me for all or part of that trip, you're more than .
