You can add Bernay and Samur plus Le Lude to that list!

Haha

Lovely as Honfleur is you will not get to the chunnel in an hour. ..unless going like a stabbed rat which is not advised on that section due to plod catching all those rushing for their crossings.

I was just looking at the routes and hotels and thought I'd share this map link, might be useful... then again it might not...

UPDATE:

Just been through all the bookings and it seems I haven't cocked anything up, phew!

Zep is now coming and takes Krishnas seat that became available and my brother has also taken Damos space with me that he had to drop out of due to work, bummer!

Now I am onto designing the itinerary, coming along nicely!

Looks like the Vuelta ended in Logrono today and probably went across some of the roads we'll be on. Highlights on ITV4 at 7pm.

Any chance someone (Matt I guess) can repost the final attendee list, Mrs keeps asking me who's going & not sure where the final list is on the thread.
Thanks

The following is a public information notice on behalf of the Scottish tourist board

Why go all the way to Spain - come to Edinburgh instead. We've got great driving roads (sort of) ... the climate is almost identical (that's a lie) ... and we've approx. 30K lazy workshy lay-about Spaniards for added authenticity. That bit is true!

Have a great time chaps - just don't eat the paella

Have a superb trip, all. Photos, videos, war stories, the lot. All will be eagerly consumed by those of us left behind.
