I'm just reviving this thread as we're now getting nearer the meet date. Some of you were unsure as to whether you could attend or not - are you now in a better position to confirm your intentions? If your name is on the attendees list and you can't come along, please let me know ASAP as others may wish to take your place.
On the other hand I know that at least two attendees have already started their trip - lucky devils.
Does anyone know of any UK bands attending?
Hi Ken, just to confirm that we are planning on being there. Haven't been on line much this last few weeks as we are touring way down south. In Seville at moment. We are planning to make this meet our last stop off before we head for Cherbourg and back to Irl. Look forward to seeing you there.
We are still expecting to be there. Maybe saturday though - unless we can change to an earlier ferry.
How long do you think it will take from Dunkerque to Amboise.
315 mls? in 6 hours?
Any recommended routes. Don't mind a few tolls to cut down the time.
Things I need to do.
Book earlier ferry
Print out a MHF sticker for window
Fill tank with expensive fuel
See if Vicarious books have "all the aires" book in yet
Find passports
Pack toothbrush
Get new watering can
Plan what to do after Amboise (3weeks)
Any thing else?
See you soon

Thanks for the update you guys, looks like we have some folks will be doing a dash down the autoroutes on Friday.
I'd advise getting to Amboise on the Friday if possible as the town parades start first thing Saturday morning but I know some of you poor folk still have to work (dirty word) and can't get away early. We always use the municipal site at Beaumont-Sur-Sarthe, just north of Le Mans when we're heading for the Loire, it's south of Rouen but still a fair drive from Amboise. We've never tried driving straight down to the Loire from the channel ports but it should be do-able in a day if you go by the mileage. The site closes the gates after dark but there's a large waiting area just outside the gates for late arrivals - and an aire just around the corner so no problem arriving during the night.
