Hi Pat, I think the information below may help you decide whether a toad is necessary at the meet. Geo and I, Suzy and Bryan and Ruth and Tony will hopefully land at Parc Verger on Wednesday 12th and so we may be using our toads to go to the Martyr Village before everything kicks off on the Friday. I say 'may' cos anything can happen with us :ROFLMAO:

I have received another pm from Bob and Di today so everyone that is going needs to let them know what they would like to do during the stay. I feel I must say that this is probably going to be a great meet - it has been a pleasure talking to Bob and Di - what really nice people they are. They seem really excited about having us too which is evident when you read their proposed itinerary below:

Quote---
Time is passing, and we need to book coaches in May, so please email or pm us with the answers to the questions below:

Friday 14th August Fishing for those who want it. Fly-fishing tuition available.

COST of fishing
Trout lake: 8 Euros for 4 hours, take up to 5 fish
Carp lakes: 10 Euros per day, catch returned to lake
Tuition: cost to be advised when numbers requiring this are known.
Full introductory package available incl tackle and use of lakes.
Transport: If there are sufficient numbers we’ll hire a coach, but otherwise we’ll use cars for transport.

Saturday 15th August Car-boot & trade stalls all day in the village; Local carnival during afternoon. Repas in the evening followed by fireworks and dancing

Sunday 16th August 12 noon to 1 pm : Aperitifs hosted by Bob and Di (weather permitting!!)

Monday 17th August Full day visit to the Martyr village at Oradour sur Glane and Limoges
9.30 am Coach leaves Parc Verger
10.15 - 12 noon visit to martyr village
12 noon coach leaves for Limoges
12.45 – 4.30 time free in Limoges
4.30 coach leaves for Parc Verger
COST of coach will be approx 12 Euros per head for adults, 6 Euros for under 16s

Tuesday 18th August Fishing for those who want it. Again if there are sufficient numbers we’ll hire a coach, but otherwise we’ll use cars for transport. Same comment as above on fly-fishing tuition.

Wednesday 19th August Morning visit to Piégut market, largest in the region.
9.30 am Coach leaves Parc Verger
10.00 – 12.00 visit to market
12.00 noon Coach leaves for Parc Verger

End quote...

Well I've broken the habit of a lifetime - I've booked the ferry to France 3 weeks before we sail!! :Eeek::Eeek::Eeek:

We're getting the P&O ferry Dover - Calais on Sunday 9th at 9.15am ( yes I will be up early!!!)
We're coming back Eurotunnel on Thursday 27th at 9.20am ( another early morning!:Eeek::Eeek:)

We're planning to do the Normandy beaches before heading down to Parc Verger then maybe the west coast / Brittany on the way back - not really planned that bit yet!

Looking forward to seeing everybody - should be a great meet!:thumb::thumb::thumb: Cheap wine too!!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Marie
Just a suggestion but when we went to France 2 years ago we did a Normandy Beach tour with 'Battlebus'. They hit us for £50 each but what a tour it was - absolutely fantastic, taking in Pegasus Bridge, the Museums, walks, shelters, cemetary etc. Loads of great stories on the way. We crammed in loads of miles and to be honest if we had tried to do this on our own we would have missed half of it because we wouldn't have known where to go. They took us to where the troops dropped in, as well as the British Beaches where the boats came in. Well worth the money honestly. I don't think we'll have time to do another beach tour but next time we do I fancy doing the American beaches next and again with Battlebus. They're on the web - take a look.

Enjoy yourselves. We went last year and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. we enjoyed a longer stay than we originally intended and toured all over the surrounding area in our car on day trips out. Bob and Di have a lovely campsite and made us feel very welcome. Dont forget to take your bicycles with you, theres a 15km cycleway on the old railway line literally yards away that goes through some nice countryside. The fishing was great thanks to Tony who lives in the village and runs fly fishing courses on a local lake.

You lucky B*****ds

Hey I'm sitting here at Parc Verger and wished I could join you later on see my blog
Left Durham 9 am Bessie Dragging Smart car on a trailer

Stopped off at Eastwwod to visit mother

Arrived Blackhorse farm Folkestone around 7 just in time to hookup and and pop in to the Blackhorse pub for 10.95 3 course meal Gorgeous duck spring rolls Lovely Fish & chips & strange cheesecake

Left around 8am after breakfast loaded up Smart (we had to unload for some reason?

Decided to go for it filled up at Supermarche Leclerc BOULEVARD INDUSTRIEL DE LA LIANE
62230 OUTREAU at .97 Euros! then set off. Roads were very quiet. Paid about 30 euros in tolls. Stopped once for birdseye cheeseburgers courtesy of her indoors
and arrived in Parc Verger 8.45 pm

Superb welcome even though it was late and we were a day early.Amazing drive through pitch.Did'nt have to unhook . Lovely site.Free WIFI!!!! Amazingly quiet. Own 16 amp EHU own tap and two drains. Encouraged to water. trees with grey waste.Had to raid fridge for the meagre provisions we had brought with us but settled for sausage egg and beans. With my last beer which didn't touch the sides and then a bottle of the red stuff. That's why I'm here at 4.30 am drinking 4 cups of tea with her indoors snoring in the background. So the holiday starts tomorrow bring it ...............................!

Day 3 Wonderfully sunny day have decided to stay put for a week instead of moving on!
A deer walked 50m infront of our van this morning,then a little red squirrel hopped along and up the nearest tree. The hens and cockerels disturb the peace from time to time + the odd woodpecker. Hey wished you could bottle this! It is boiling hot My drinks keep evaporating honest! Off to oradour tomorrow have raided the local Ecomarche of their 1.35 Cotes du Rhone.

BBQ of cotes de porc and merguez etc

The list on the calendar is as up to date as I can tell.

Thechesters have not come back to me to say whether they are booked in or not and Bob and Di have not pm'd me either (I'm sure they will be keeping an eye on this thread).

We will be crossing over to Calais on Sunday 9 August and then making a steady journey down towards Parc Verger (taking in stops along the way) and should arrive on Wednesday. The weather sounds good at the moment, I really hope it lasts for at least the next 3 weeks.

Boy am I ready for this break - the nearer it gets, the more excited I get. Can't wait.

I will pm those attending with our mobile phone numbers just in case you need us.

See you all soon
