DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I might join you + Mike & Brendan etc too for the Sunday run back. Quite fancy a couple of beers in Rouen followed by a relaxing scenic drive back to Boulogne on the Monday .

The scenery in the hotel lounge is really nice too. You might not want to leave in a hurry come Monday. And you thought Brendan and me were just going back for the secure parking!!

Well I'm only going to reinforce the stereotype of Yorkshire men being tight in this post, but I dont fancy paying 95 euros for the Ibis, so we're booked in just down the road (about 2km from the Ibis) at the Etap Rouen Petit Quevilly http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/ ... otel.shtml

Singles from 36 euros, doubles for 42 (sleeps up to 3) - more beer money for CLM

HI James,

I'm really sorry for being a pain here, and I know that this is beginner stuff, but as befits my CLM spode status I have a request:

Could you list what time ferries I need to book on what days, there and back? Could you tell me what hotel in Rouen and how many nights? Could you tell me exactly what tickets I need to get for CLM? What day are most people coming back?

like you, using this much 'away from family' allowance will royally reduce anything else I can do this year, but I feel that this is worth it!


Thanks again James,


Sorry to be a pain,


Steve.

Steve,

You should take a look at Sladey's 'Read Me First' post. Has most of what you need. Perhaps if you find any other info you would add it to Sladey's

You need one camping pass per car.

You need one CLM entrance ticket per person ..... these are being bought via Porsche Club France and have not been finalised yet. Bootsy will give notice of these when they become available

Thanks Will,

DOHH! I'm looking at so many I'm missing the obvious..Sorry Sladey! 'Can't see't wood fo't trees' as my old Grandad used to say! If I get any more I will add.

Cheers,

Steve.

Thanks for that James!

I still have another couple of meetings to go to confirm absolutely the dates, so I may have to find alternatives, but let's hope not! This is a proper target for me now, my northern grit is fully engaged!


Cheers,

Steve.

My mate Stuart tells me he couldn't get a room at the Ibis hotel when he tried this morning.

He's now going to try here http://www.accorhotels.com/accorhotels/ ... otel.shtml

Derek, thats where we're booked

That's why I sent him there .

We need to book somewhere yet aswell. Does anyone know if the hotel Derek recomended has secure parking at all?

I've just booked for the wednesday , but it's full for the return leg on the sunday. Anyone booked anywhere else ?

Last night I looked through my paperwork for CLM, and I've mistakenly booked the outbound ferry for TUESDAY 8TH JULY 14:20 crossing.

So there's 24hrs to kill in Northern France waiting for the rest of you to arrive at 16:10 on the Wednesday.

Might head to Le Touqet Paris Plage, which is supposed to be nice - any other suggestions?

Return ferry is right - 17:10 on the 14th.

oops

Are you staying in Rouen on Wednesday night ?
