Just trying to make a booking on Brittany Ferries website.

Pete Bull kindly gave his club voyage number for the Spain trip.

However it has maxed out its number of guests.

So I was wondering if any other kind soul had a Club Voyage number I could use?

No, not too late.

I think there may be rooms free at the place we are staying at, if not I am sure there are other places within spitting distance, i.e walking distance from where we are staying.

Would you be getting the same ferries as us as well, I imagine you would.

All the details should be in this discussion thread, if not just…[Read more]

i.e. just the start, places we intend to visit and end are Waypoints. So from what I have read, if we miss a via point, then it will re route us to the next way point.

I have put the daily routes in the MYRoute Ulysses GB area to download for your satnavs, although can’t work out how to make a ‘folder’ for them, so any suggestions??

I also have printable PDF files saved of the daily route if anyone wants them.

As always, comments and suggestions…[Read more]

I am compiling an itinerary for the four days and will post it up on here.

I am hoping to do it so we mover from one sector to another each day, i.e gold beach, Utah beach etc.

The itinerary will obviously be discretional, and will enable time to actually go around museums etc and also get back to hotels in time for relaxing…[Read more]

Donna wants to do a little exploring in Salisbury, well, when I say exploring what I think she actually means is going to Matalan, Primani etc, as apparently the stores there have a wider range than Taunton.

We will of course be in the bar at sixish.

If it gets messy can I make a suggestion that we guide Alan back to…[Read more]

What sort of time will people be getting to the hotel and what time is the restaurant booked for etc??

I’m just gauging things as I will need time to get ready, i.e., hair , nails, make up, outfit etc.

I am praying that any trips planned this year will go ahead despite the obvious obstacles!!

I have been jabbed so many times that I feel like a pin cushion, so I, and I expect most of us, can’t do any more.

This tour has regrettably been cancelled due to the on going bug going around.

As it is so near a potential easing of the travel restrictions we felt it was best to reschedule for 2022!!!

The itinerary will be pretty much the same, although the accommodation has changed.

Please see the forum for the new dates and…[Read more]
