I have booked all our rooms.
In the end I settled on:
The night of Thursday 28 March in the Ibis in St Omer. I changed from a Logis hotel as (a) It was cheaper (b) Our relatively late crossing time (losing an hour due to the time difference) was making it awkward.

I am talking to the Ibis to see if it might be possible to reserve a space in the carpark. They usually won't but we shall see.
We'll have to find some scoff in the town, so get your skates on on arrival.
Nights of Friday 29 Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 March in the Hotel Petry which we used on the (very cold) jaunt of November last year.

What other news?
(1) It's Easter, so hotel rooms can be at a premium. I have secured ALL the rooms against my credit card. If anyone can't make it, PLEASE let me know so that we can avoid charges.
(2) I will work on some suggested routes over the next month and ping them up here.
(3) I will have half an eye on the weather. If it's raining I AM going. If it's deep snow in Luxembourg I'm NOT. Let's be sensible about it; it's the end of March so just about anything is possible. If it really is snowing I will talk to the hotels
in good time and probably try to move the booking to some other weekend, later in the year. It's my intent for none of us to incur any charges.
