Pennines to Pyrenees 2013 official thread

[Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator]

No worries Terry still trying to catch up on this thread page 10 and we haven't set off yet! still sorting the logistics of hairdryers in the bootbag etc   we will be off soon 

[Terryathome]

Hairdryer, that all you got? Iron/curling tongs/sewing kit I kid you not. Going to see what will fit where tomorrow. Might have to leave the kitchen sink behind with all this junk.

I think we'll aim for 12:30. It opens at 12:15.

 

Chinon to Orleans isn't that far.  It's about 100 miles so 2 hours maximum.

 

I'll speak to the restaurant tomorrow and confirm everything.

[Norman Verona]

The restaurant is now booked and we should meet outside at 12:30. Please try and get there on time as we will be blocking the road for the time it takes to get the luggage from the open cars into the two tintops. 

 

We will then move the cars into Quai Charles VII which is beside the river and may have spaces for parking. 

 

The restaurant is at: 

78 Rue Haute St Maurice

37500 Chinon

Tel 02 47 93 37 18 

 

My mobile is 0033 (0)7 70 70 23 79

 

If someone can PM me one of your mobile numbers it would be good.
