Wapping's Wanders.... The 2012 Olympic Avoidance Tour

[Wapping]

Here we go, combined with the 80 Virees, a MapSource file that is hosted on DropBox.

Again, I can see how this could work. But, I need to get rid of all the blue flags..... which will be a pain in the 'arris, unless I can find an easy way to do it.

Hey-ho

Routes, then hotels.......

Damn, going to be back in Australia next year, or you would have had me along for sure.

Have a great trip... it sounds like fun.

I'm very jealous......leave ban from April 2012.

Sounds great, I will have just returned from Honeymoon so no money / time to do anything so grand for about a year

Hope you do get a crowd and make the trip

I'm a possible, as I retire at about that time, and am looking for something to do!

Richard, put me down as a probable.
Be happy to help with the organisation, if you want.

It looks OK, just hacked out the very lazy way in MapSource.

Things I would like to add would be:

Coming across further to the south west, to take in the Pyrenees, then across to Med coast side at Carcassone.

Then possibly further across to the NE, probably to miss Paris, going further to the left, roughly along the line: Chalons, Reims an / or maybe across into the Ardennes and then home, via perhaps Ypres.

Richard,
Can you pencil myself and pal Mark in for this trip.
Thanks
Kev

 

[Wapping]

OK

Kev B and Mark added, Stolzy, too.

That is probably enough names for now, so I will lock the thread up whilst I sort some possible hotels out and do some more work on the route.

Many thanks to everyone for their interest.

Richard

 

[Wapping]

Sorry

Something has come up which means that my brilliant plan will have to be cancelled.

I will though be doing assorted other 'Wanders' in 2012.

Richard
