I've contacted Renske and booked a cabin for two, so if anyone's after sharing please let me know.

What I'd like to ask is who knows a cheap way to send her the 105 Euro deposit, I don't want to pay £25 bank charge and worldmoneymove.com sadly don't cover France!

Any chance we could co-ordinate and make one transfer to cover deposits for several cabins, or has everyone else already made payment.

Cheers

In Ireland you can go to the bank and get a Euro draft drawn on a bank in the country you want to send the money to. As long as it is made out to the person you want the money to go to it is as good as cash but nobody else can cash it. You can then post the draft by registered mail. Cost here is €2.50 to the bank plus the value of the draft. Ask your bank if they offer this service.

Remembered I had an account with a Foriegn Exchange company, which I'd used for our little Italian retirement house purchase nearly two years back.

Still cost me £10 as it's such a small amount, but at least I sorted it on Fri after the wholesale rate bounced to 1.11 (closed over 1.13). Hopefully they'll get the money this week and I'll hear back with cabin booking confirmation.

So at least now when I look out the window at the snow flurries I can look forward to some summer riding in the Dordogne!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yahoo.gif[/img]

Just had the confirmation back from Renske that they've got the deposit, so all booked.

I'm just praying the Euro rate continues it's slight upward trend, nudging 1.15 today. if we're really lucky it may have managed to get back to 1.25/1.30 by the summer - me optimistic never! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

That part answers a question I was going to post this evening about whether anybody had got their confirmations for accomodation from motocamp. I got mine today two weeks after I sent the money.

Motivational stuff - "United we stand, divided we fall"?? - an appeal not to let RTT09 go t*ts up? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Or he's trying to promote the benefit of gel inserts, in anticipation of the long trip?

Could be a good 500 mile rideout back to Cherbourg, it looks like there's quite a few for Cherbourg -> Portsmouth on Sun 12th, I'm on the 20.30 Seacat.

Also anyone doing Cherbourg -> Poole on 12th?

[catsbum]

Question:

Do we need Hi-Viz in France? Someone said it was now a legal thing..

Anyone going via Cherbourg on the 8th?

Been looking at the 1st July to Santander myself actually, £132 me + bike + recliner seat thingy one way, cos I'll ride back through France, making a round trip of it all.

Still not 100% that I can go, but definitly in planning stage, just in case!
