OK, for your diaries. Friday 9 - Sunday 11 September. Region: Probably somewhere W/SW of Paris. Chartres looks likely. Considering a two-hotel trip. Thursday night Portsmouth - Le Havre ferry, overnight, wiv cabins (as before), if I can wangle a good deal. Arrive Friday morning, ride down to Chartres. Friday night there. Then ride up north of Paris for the second stop on Saturday night. On to Calais for that crossing back to Dover on Sunday morning. If that can't be sorted, then I'm looking at the valleys near Neufchatel en Brie, between Abbeville and Rouen, Dover-Calais both ways. But that date's a definite. Usual terms, deals, prices, stuff as before. Email me and watch for the spam trap.
