Hi Guys
Sorry I have not been contributing to the discussions, but work has been crazy busy. I do not have any past experience of the areas which we will be travelling around, so I am more than happy to go along with whatever the more knowledgeable among us suggest.

Just a thought .
I live just off the M1 about 20 miles North of London. If anybody coming down from up North wanted to use my house a stop over on the way down to Dover (and back again) I would be happy to put you up for the night. From me it is about 120 miles (or two and a quarter) hours down to Dover.

Bump de bump!!

Just waiting for your itinery

Then we can book accommodation

[Pirate]

I was waiting for your accommodation, so I could work round it

If it is easier for people to meet up on the Saturday, rather than taking an extra day of work I'm easy with that.

Did we say Bastogne Sat night.? Or Sun. I know museum closed Mon but is it OK for sun pm.

Pirate if you do an itinerary then everyone will know what the plan is and can give a happy or not.

I need definite numbers for the accommodation or the rest of us will be picking up the tab for Spare room spaces etc. I'm not happy just booking for 8 if only 5/6 end up going

The museum is open over the weekend from 10am - 6pm. I've noticed that alot of attractions seem to shut or have restricted access on a Monday.

Bastogne on the itinerary is Saturday night but of course can change to Sunday if the group opts for Sunday arrival in France.
