Normandy, France, September 2013

[steve in stockport]

I'm planning a trip to Normandy, France for the last week in September, Saturday 21st until Saturday 28th.

I've provisionally booked the gite in the link below

 

Gite

 

Ideally we need 14 people to fill the gite and already have 8 definite and 2 to confirm, so there is space for another 4 to 6 people.

However the occupancy could be expanded if people are interested and are willing to share a room, as a couple of the rooms will sleep 4 and two sleep 3.

 

Cost of the gite is £1195 for the week, so for 14 that works out at £86 per person, Dover - Calais ferry on the above dates looks to be about £80. Then there is your food, drink and fuel.

 

We'll be visiting the D Day beaches, Honfleur, Caen, Bayeaux as well as a few blats round the countryside, ask anybody who went to the Somme and they'll say it was like being in big brother living with people you only know through your car, but great fun.

 

 

 

If you're interested post on here or get in touch with me.

Those going are:

Bob and Sylvia Fry

Derek and Marilyn Overfield

Kevin and Gayle Pickering

Steve and Laura Johnston

I won't be able to confirm for definate for a few weeks, but I would be interested if you could pencil me in for a place. Cheers.

Steve, me and Jo are up for this. Sounds great, thanks. Bri

Looks like we're all full up, six couples and a couple of single blokes to confirm.

If anybody is still interested I'll start a reserve list just in case anybody drops out before the deposit is paid.

This is coming together nicely, three cars going Dover- Calais either by ferry or tunnel and three cars going Portsmouth to Caen.

Just a couple left to decide on their choice of crossing.

 

Those going are

Steve and Laura

Chris and Carol

Derek and Marilyn

Kevin and Gayle

Bob and Sylvia

Brian and Jo

David S

Pete Ray (still to confirm)

Peter, I've emailed the owners to ask about space, I don't want to end up with people being cramped together in a small room.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear from the owners.

[Guest chris brown]

Hotel booked each way in Calais, well the end of the tunnel realy. Going via tunnel with Derek and Marilyn

[steve in stockport]

Peter, I've spoken to the owners and there is no problem in terms of room for 3 adults to share the triple room.

So if Frank wants to come and is ok sharing a room with you and David he is welcome to join us.

I'll just need your deposits. Have you received the emails so that you know where people are up to with ferry bookings etc?

 

Chris, good to hear you have your overnights sorted out.

[Guest peter2b2002]

[steve in stockport]
