Your name's been added WindyChuffer, good to hear from you. Don't forget to keep giving us your views as we need to 'lock-in' to some decisions sooner rather tham later .
Sorry to hear about the bike GreatScott. After all the bad press on reliability the 1200s have got, I suppose I am just glad mine is still under warranty for another year.
The route is really a function of where we land and at what time. With such a short trip, if we land at Dieppe or LeHavre, our best bet is to head westwards following the WW2 Normandy beaches route and aiming to get into Brittany in time for an early landing in a hostellerie. If we take the Tunnel on the other hand, there is little point and we should think about the Champagne region and its undoubted delights.
So until we know how many are coming and can lock onto dates, we can't make any booking on the ferries, so that might have an impact. Also, £300 might be a bit steep for some for a 3-day jaunt. So do we consider 2 days and one night, for example? That would pretty much limit us to a radius of 100 miles from our landing port.
Decisions, decisions................too many bloody decisions. Anyhow, here is the latest list of those interested:
