5 weeks to go until the start of departure week, so seemed about the right time to start this years thread.
Out Pompey to St Malo over night Sunday 10th.
Returning to Camp C'Arnage, Blue Nord with Robbo's crew after my sabbatical on Epilepsy.
Back Caen to Pompey late afternoon Monday 18th.
Once again in the Grand Punto Turbo, aka The Lemon Drop.

Me and my lot, with elanman and his lot, all on Epinettes which has worked nicely for us over the last couple of years.
Arrivals from the Tuesday through to the Friday, various ferries with a mix of Pompey/Caen and Dover or Folkestone/Calais.
All leaving on the Sunday, with some of us overnighting near Neufchatel on the way back.
Usual eclectic mix of steeds.
:D ;D

Schelp down to the house we have rented, then onto the circuit
Leave Monday & poodle back to Cite Europe for an afternoon train.
Thinking about it, the Chunnel thing sounds the worst bit ::)

Here's our plan:
Meeting at the burger bar ontop of Portsdown hill at 7am Tuesday
9am fast cat Pompey - Cherbourg
Night one pissup is in Bernay
Night two pissup is in Saumer
Thursday we head to our gites, we have 4 in total and a party of 40
Friday, probably hooliganing it in the Harlequin in Arnage or The Rose and Crown in Le Lude
Sat and Sun, the obvious
Monday, hot tailing it back up to Cherbourg for a 5pm fast cat home
Then depression sets in.
If you see a stream of Maseratis (plus some other Astons and Fezzers) cruising through Arnage making an infernal din....give us a wave with your pint hand!
