Yes fully agree especially an American one on D-Day

I have planned to visit some of the locations where Hammond was. The area where the programme was filmed is not too far away from where we'll be staying, East of Omaha beech towards the western end of Gold beech.

We've now completed the bookings for the people who have paid their deposits so this trip is now closed. However if anyone would like to join us over in Normandy, they are quite welcome to but they will need to make their own ferry and accommodation arrangements.

It's looking like a good trip in the making.

Hi JB

I have just found the site and spotted this thread for Normandy.

I understand that the trip is now closed but could you let me know the details so I could tag along and book the same dates locations etc?

I have been intending to do a trip to Normandy on my own for years but never quite gotten there and to go with a group would be great!

Let me know your thpoughts and I shall sort something out!
Cheers
Phil

I aim to please.

I watch all topics I post so I get a mail that theres something new. Since I run the Three Shires and Dorset website there is always something in my mail box

Its getting much closer now, so watched 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Band of Brothers' till my eyes bleed!
Bike been serviced and going very well, now for what else do we HAVE to take with us and what would be useful to take? A list of both would be very useful to all from any frequent european traveller!?

Thanks


Neil

think main things are

first aid kit
puncture kit
travel insurance
and copies of all paperwork (Passport etc)
Bike paperwork copies aswell
and make sure everyone has your number when we are at Portsmouth and who to ring incase ......

Thou John will be posting an email to all those going with a better list of things he takes and finds useful shortly

Hi All,

We will all start to talk a lot more nearer the time, but I was always told to take the originals of all my documents as opposed to copies? I'm sure someone will have all the answers!

One thing I do need to know, I have just sold my Pan so will I need to notify John of the new bike details? (when I find one that is!).

Regards, Al

hi al,

no this ferry company doesn't need to know make model reg etc just that it's a standard bike (I.e. not pulling a trailer or is custom chopper etc) so if your new bike is a normal bike it's no problem. I'm in same postion logged the CBR as going but now have 1300 pan. As for the copies yes I did mean you take all the orginals but make sure you have copies of all of it aswell. Keeping them in different location or handing them to someone else to look after on the trip should the worse happen etc.

Thanks Paul, thats one less thing to worry about. I think I may regret selling the Pan after a few hundred miles...

Anyway, can I order one of the tee shirts in XL if its not too late? (If they run small then XXL)

Cheers, Al

You should be able to flick that around better than the pan
