I am a definite 'no' now mate.

You may have read on Facebook that I have decided to study for a Physics degree so funds will be tight for a few years. Sorry. I'll make it up to you by way of a cake... :-)

Forgive the 'bump' but I thought I would update this thread with a few piccies and info!

Me and Mr Smiler stayed here for a few days and I have to say its SPOT ON :)):
Ken and Lesley make superb hosts and we chose to eat there each evening with the other guests Paul & Miko (I think its about 20euros each for a 3 course meal - bring your appetite, she loves to feed peeps well, lol) the B&B is perfectly located for some fab biking roads, which they were only too happy to show us on our maps :)):

From Cherbourg, its about 200 miles down, but I would suggest a more scenic route would add a few more to that (but make it more enjoyable :)): )

oh and I meant to say...Ken & Lesley have very kindly given us the use of their discount code for the ferry! I think its around 10% but every little helps :wink:

Bookings for the B&B are being taken for next year NOW - for anyone thinking of coming along you will need to contact Nick (Red5) and get a deposit paid sooner rather than later ! :mrgreen:

Any other questions just ask... :ymhug:

Thanks Richie, yeah we had a fab time! Motor Museum was ace..even stuff going on on the circuit too.. 8)

The bunker is along the coast from St Nazaire (Batz-sur-Mer?) well worth a visit :D

Coming back to the UK you're always aware of just how much more traffic there is over here!!!! :roll: Still, nice to enjoy some VERY empty roads :wink:
