Here is the info for my tour down to Treignac area in South of France (pics on my profile in France folder)
Depart Uk Saturday 29th June 2013
Stay overnight in Dover area then get early ferry across £42 returnFerry Saturday evening over and stay in CalaisOvernight ferry So any thoughts on that are welcome I tend to always go over on Dover ferry for ease and price. How ever we have a 400 mile run on the Sunday so thinking the over night ferry is the viable option.Thoughts ? Sunday 30th June 2013 We will head down to South of France so be warned it will be about a 400 mile run. This will be a mixture of roads and there will be 2 or 3 toll roads to pass through so keep some euros handy (cost me 12ish euros each way last time) Fully Guided Tour - The cost is 75 euros (£59) per person pernight: Included: All bed linen, and Towels.

The numbers are limited on this trip so first come first served and the above applies to everyone.You will have to pay a deposit of 100 euros and you will lose this if you decide to pull out. You can transfer your space to another BM member but you will sort out monies after telling me the change.This so I don't lose money which has happened before Please make sure you have a bike than can do the mileage of this tour while loaded up. Please make sure you are also up to doing the mileage and keep in mind the temps can be 30c+. I would not do this trip unless you have a sat nav or at least decent maps in case you get separated.
More Info as we go along such as where to pay the deposit and how we will invade France
