sounds like a plan...any room for a mad yorkshire man..

I reckon six is the maximum size of the group, so yes, there's still room.
At the moment I only have a sketchy plan in my head, but it'll be broadly similar terrain to last year's trip.
Down the west or central France, up into the Pyrenees, then east a bit to the edges of the Alps and then north west back to Calais/Boulogne.

Post your route as soon as you've thought it through. If you come far enough south maybe meet up for a beer. www.holiday-provence.co.uk

Abbeville
Neufchâtel-en-Bray
Forges-les-Eaux
Gornay-en-Bray
Gisors
Magny-en-Vexin
Houdain
Nogent-le-Roi

Châteaudun
Vendôme
Château-Renault
Amboise (there's a good Camping Municipal there)

We didn't go through Amboise last year.Look kinda familiar
Come to think of it, we didn't go through Caudebronde either (shrouded by torrential rain and mist as it was!).
Yes, I thought we'd do it in two days, rather than three to give us more time to play in the southern sunshine (hopefully).
