i'll be at me parents in Essex on the Tuesday, sure we can sort you out with a bed for the night.
i normally go from Dover to Dunkirk on Norfolkline as they are much cheaper for bikes.
they email offers out every few weeks, just waiting for one that covers those dates.

that would be great Tony, then we could do a tour over together (you can have a free tow in the slipstream of me W I D E Panniers ) i would probbably arrive down in Essex late tuesday night maybe 11:00 Pm or so, Would that be a problem ?
do i have to book myself in the B&B at Rupertshoffen or are you doing the booking for us, and us paying you ????
not quite clear on that one

Thanks for the timely SuperFart info Alan - saved me a few quid.
Ferries from Skotchland in July are available but returns are hard to come by.
So I had to book SuperFart from Rosyth-Zeebugger 3-7-07 and return Amsterdam-Newcastle 19-7-07
All in that's over £250 would you believe.
Hope there's still room at the BB if campings too far away and just as expensive.
Don't know how long to stay in Rupert'sbum.
Anyone been to Poland? Visit Auschwitz maybe and think about the meaning of life?
Goin' Sarf - I'd love the Pyrenees and Pamplona but it's a bit far in the time i've available.
Roight Toneski, can you book me in the B & B from Wed - Wed please. I'll bring me camping gear just incase the 900 guy's feel out of place.
Gillian's going to give it a miss this year so it'll only be me sen.

Need any help from our German colleagues?
Btw, stating the obvious, it looks daft that as "inter-club and PR man" I'm not going, but life's still up in the air workwise and otherwise so I can't see to making this trip, exciting though it be. Sorry guys.

a translation of my email would probably be good as they are ignoring my English and i dont want to offend them with a babelfish translation....
any volunteers?
