This is the sign up list only. Please use Normandy 2008 thread in Runs & Meets for questions about run information and advice or PM me directly.

Information:
The Normandy Beach B&B is now fully booked for this weekend so bookings are now being taken by the 2 other B&B’s that are close by. These are:

Chez Mounie: [ftp]www.mounie.arromanches.net [/ftp]

Arroplace: [ftp]www.arroplace.com[/ftp]

Normally Normandy Beach would just rebook any guests they cannot accommodate into these B&Bs but, to avoid confusion and ensure that everyone knows where they are staying, it is better if you book directly with the B&B. You can of course still breakfast at NB if you so wish. Other accommodation can be found at [ftp]www.arromanches.com[/ftp]

For those planning to camp there is a campsite about 500m from the B&B. Contact www.arromanches.com/uk/camping_services.htm



Ferries: Most riders are taking the Brittany Ferries Normandie Express from Portmouth to Caen 0700 21/3/2008 returning to the UK on Cherbourg - Portsmouth 1245 24/3/2008 Fairly cheap (Motorcycle and rider £79 return passenger £26) but this will rise as we get closer to date. Suggesting this because it is the high speed 3 1/2hr crossing and only 15 miles to B&B from ferry port but choice is yours.

Although I will be glad to offer advice responsibility for making travel and accommodation arrangements lies with the individual

Stick me down for this please ;D.

Jim

Glad to hear your coming along.

Your challenge now is to be on the same fast crossing as everyone else.

Ade

[2old2boogie]

Can't be done Ade. The ferry you lot are on is full. The rest of the ferries Brittany offer all get into Ouistreham much too late.

Tried all the others Sea France, P&O etc, but have decided to go on the old favourite Dover/Calais 08:25 sailing. Then a blast down the A16 and I should be into Arromanche just after lunch.

Bad news is last time I was on that road on a bike it phished down on me all weekend!

Good news is I will be able to shop in the Calais Hypermarkets on the Monday return trip before my 17:30 ferry leaves. ;D

Looking forward to it. Have'nt been there since '04.

[Welsh Ade]

Good Man

Sounds like a lovely ride.

I've not been to Arromanche since 1999.

First time on the bike though so looking forward to it.

Better still, lets just ask for directions ;D

[2old2boogie]

"Better still, lets just ask for directions "

Yeah, way to go! Do'nt forget the method: Speak very loudly and stick an O on the end of every word!

Never fails ;D

No thats Italian

In France you just put a "Le" in front of the word
ie Le beer, Le road, Le steak & Le chips

[2old2boogie]

"No thats Italian"

No, no, no! It's any country outside GB. My old dad taught me as a sprog:

"All you do Feller (his nickname for me) is look them in the eye, shout and put an O on the end of every word".

Works for me. ;D
