Great Chris,

Accom will be pay when you arrive as arroplace doesn't take deposits.

so just book the ferry get all the stuff you want to pack and get travel insurance and meet you at portsmouth for 2100 two weeks friday

Hello folks, looking forward to seeing you all on Friday evening ;o) , what time are we meeting at the ferry terminal? I recently had two weeks holiday in Brittany, though not on the bike though :| just like Cornwall but the beaches and roads empty :o)).

The price of fuel has risen as much in France just as UK, so suggest we fill up in the UK before we board to save time on Saturday morning :roll:

All the best
Gavin aka Masher

Hi Gavin,
Did you get my update?
I'm planniing on getting to the ferry terminal early because they will start to move the bikes forward onto th quayside around 9-pm.
We should be there long before then because I've build time into our ride down to cover any bike or traffic problems.
See you then. My bikes a Blue Pan st1100 W reg, with gold wheels so you should be able to find us okay

Could i check my Final checklist, for the novice european bike traveller!

Passport, driving licence, original insurance(+copies), registration doc, breakdown numbers! Phone & camera!(+charger on bike)

Spare headlight, tail/brake light bulb kit, bike tool kit, bike first aid kit.

Extra Tie downs for ferry?

Visa credit card and money(approx how much sterling and euros to take!?!?!?)


Any other essentials or usefuls?


Cheers
