Assorted bods expressed an interest in this trip.
It is going ahead.
It is the weekend of the royal wedding 29/4 and bank-holiday Monday 2/5, so if you get bank-holidays off it is no loss of leave.
Train times to be confirmed, but expect a train out on Friday at about 08:30 and a train back on Monday at about 17:00. I will sort the train times out tomorrow.
We will be staying in Bouillon, at the hotel de la poste, which I have used before. For those that worry about parking, it has a bloody big garage with a steel door.
The town is well served with bars and restaurants all catering for touristical types like ourselves.
We can take a scenic route down. We can then come back via a more direct route. Plenty of good roads to enjoy in the area. Bods can do their own thing or we can team up on the two days we are in Bouillon. Battle of the Bulge sites nearby and the 'ring is a (longish) morning's ride away. I will need to check if the 'ring is open.
I think the list of tourists goes:
Wapping
Mr & Mrs DXTans
Mr & Mrs Toad
Ebbo
NeilDD
SamD
Stubbs
Hustler
Timpo
Mr Magicfingers (not sure if you are on your own??)
When making the reservations, I have assumed blokes are happy to share.
Those on the list who are site subscribers I will send a PM to.
No deposits required by the hotel..... as they trust me. I do want to go back there, too!

The jaunt is fully subscribed as it stands and I have a basic reserve list already.
