Hi

Just seen the listing in LMC VL magazine for this and wondered if anyone fancied either meeting there or going as a group?

Not a massive hike from Calais, so quite doable for a long weekend.

See

Would have done but am on another Lancia rally in Italy.

Look out for an advert for this and other tours in next month's VL maybe doing some to exercise your Beta

Hi Peter,
As said already, I'm in!
It's a 2.5 hour drive from Calais on the A26, or 4+ hours if you choose
the back roads.

I've been looking for hotel options in Laon but haven't come up with anything yet.

Yes please Peter.
Sounds like a workable outline to stretch our Betas and find new roads. I’m in.

There appears to be a travel company who organises the travel etc. I will get in touch and see what options we have etc.

If that gets a bit restrictive Peter, we can always self book crossings (Tesco vouchers still help) and share an AirBnB?  For those dates, there are plenty of 4-12 bedroom houses available depending on interest.

Hi Chris

That does sound like a good option. Will get back on Monday after I speak with the company.

I like Chris's idea of the AirBnB, although a hotel would give us lots of meals and drinks.

Going through a travel company could restrict our options to be flexible.
It could also increase costs unnecessarily.

It looks to be a fairly simple registration process. I've easily printed the application form,
there's not much else to do except channel crossing and digs.

Seems like there's at least 4 interested so far, and I'm sure a few more will play.
