I plan to do a trip to Brittany and The Loire for the first 3 weeks in September.
Anyone interested in joining in all or part of the trip?
Plans are flexible but probably be 3 nights in each location and because it is out of school holidays much of it will not be prebooked.
I am assuming there will be no violence risk, no fuel strikes and we will still be allowed in!!!

I agree with Pippah. I check this site daily to find out what is happening. I'm committed 'in my head' but haven't actually booked a ferry yet. Is anyone likely to stay over past 19th? Being retired I have time and the ferry costs at least feel to be lower when spread over more days.
I'm working on all the paper work required. Does anyone have knowledge / experience of Camping Card Europe or Camping Card International?
Is a weigh bridge certificate for a motothome essential / useful? I thought it would be at least an interesting experience.

The only card I have needed is the ACSI one that comes with the book - I did get their camping card once but was never asked for it - Can't help with the motorhome though.
Much as I would love to join you all - I think the 4 dogs kind of rules me out! Unless I manage to find a foster home for my son's two! They had passports but DIL seems to have lost them - and I don't fancy starting again with them.

Hi there
You need to email Martin on mkb1@myself .com
Welcome aboard
Thank you, have done. Martin tells me you are the only other woman so far. Are you confirmed and which crossing are you taking, is it the same as Martin? I am in Cornwall so any crossing other than Plymouth is rather a long way. previously I have always used the tunnel. But I'm happy to travel to a crossing that suits most.Write your comments here...

Hi there
I am taking the 0815 ferry Portsmouth to Caen on 1st returning on the1630 ferry back on 20th. All booked up! I think everyone is getting the ferry that is most convenient for them and we are meeting up on the first campsite. I look forward to meeting you.

Hi Carolyn, Looked into it and think Poole is best option. Just looked at your profile and find thatyou are into cycling. Have just purchased an electric bike as I tow a dog trailer would be well up for a cycle about if you are up for it.
Regards Sue.
Write your comments here... I probably won't be taking a bike as I haven't really done much cycling recently. Some of the others might be taking bikes though. I think some of the others are also going via Poole so you might meet up with some of them on the ferry. See you there!

Hi,
I'm booked on the Poole - Cherbourg ferry. Out Wed 31st Aug, ret. Fri 30th Sept. I shall have a cycle with me. I'm a person who rides a bike now and again in shorts rather than a cyclist in Lycra though. I recall the Normandy beaches are flatish.
Is there an agreed meeting place with dates yet?
