Okeedokee. Arrive at the Hotel Royal 14th July. Stay for 5 nights. Depart Friday 19th. I will work out some routes etc. I will hopefully upload these for satnag users. I know it's not exactly the second week but with others contacting me it seems these are the preferred dates. If you contact your bunk buddies and let us know what requirements are for rooms so I can get a list together for Limbo. If you fancy sorting your own accommodation then let us know if you are attending. Anything I've missed feel free to let me know and I'll try to get it sorted. RTT2013 is GO!

I would suggest having a separate topic for listing attendees, dates and location.
Is there a cut off date for booking a room ?
Deposit to pay ?
Any camping facilities nearby ?
Things to do in the area ?
Will it rain a lot ? <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />Why ?
I'd love to say I'll make it but family matters are my priority next year. If I go, it'll be a lastminute.com jobby.
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - Matt686 - 26-11-2012
Deposits I will ask Limbo to check for us. There is camping nearby apparently. Loads of stuff in the area.
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - Limbo - 26-11-2012
There are primarily a list of serious buyers.
Anyone can register as planned or confirmed.
A deadline for the reservation there will certainly be later.
Since reserve as many rooms it is one of the mandatory reservation Caution be common.
Which date and what amount you will see later.
The procedure for paying the Caution will pretend Matt101.
If beds are free, you can book last minute ... without warranty. <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wacko.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wacko:' />
There are dam-where to stay. Where there are dams, there is rain.
The rain is not scheduled in the calendar. How much rain there is leg rests you with your rain dance. <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banana:' />
Where there are camping I had already written. <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yu.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':yu:' />

Studders
Can you put a sign up sheet for us. I know it's a bit early but it'll give folk chance to decide. We will obviously need to check for a cut off date for the group booking.
Thanks again Limbo <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' />
Cheers

eeeerm, might be better if you start a new topic for that Matt, then you can use the first post to display the list and also update it. If I do it then I'd need to do the updating.

DFDS. Always had good value from them

Don't forget you can use your Tesco Clubcard vouchers on the Tunnel at 3 time the face value - my last 3 trips under the water have cost me £15 in vouchers plus £5 or £6 cash on top.
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - MarkyMark - 03-01-2013
Current thinking:-
Travel Fri 12 July - - only 4 hours from Calais.
Staying Fri > Wed 17th - That will be 4 days riding in the area.
Travel back Wed 17th
I will book hotel and Tunnel
Hope to bump into as many folks as possible.

Looks interesting Dandy, might have to make a visit there. A camping weekend may be on the cards.
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - Matt686 - 18-04-2013
Righto attendees. Can you let me know your tank ranges as I'm dabbling with routes but need to factor in fuel stops etc. I'm ok for @240 miles at sub warp speeds. Wot bout yours?
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - chrisr - 18-04-2013
About 200 for me, will confirm after Brittany trip next week.

Hi Matt, 900s should get 200 miles from a tank cross country. I'll let the 850 fellas comment on their own machines, but I know MK1s are a fair bit less than 200.
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - Rallyist - 19-04-2013
My Mk1 never gets more than 150 to reserve, but need :cake eating: and fluid intake/outlet before then, should be on the niner though, all being well. :good:
Rtt13 Monschau 14Th - 19Th July Discussion. - agrantg - 19-04-2013
The weather being as it's been, I haven't had a chance to check the 850 properly, but I got to 160 miles commuting before having to top up. Will check and get back to you.
