    Christ on a bike TOG, don't give anyone any choices, we'll be arguing
    the toss for months.

    Pick a locn and a date, you'll have the usual stampede of interest,
    then the 30% dropoff before the time.

    Just get em to stump up well before the time with no refunds. This'll
    save having to cancel the run as per this Autumn !

    Just my 2p

    Cheers,

    Paul.

  3. and together with the rantings of Mr Blaney this makes the most sense.

    TOG - there is no point in making a rod for your back by providing
    choice to such a disparate group of people. You'll never get a
    "decision".

  5. As someone who has never been to any of those places, but read what they
    were like up there, I'd miss St Omer. The rest have decent grub.

    Unless you are called out of the country *again* !

    You know, thinking about it, the only people that normally get called out
    of the country at such short notice, so often are the SAS.....

    I'll try not to this time. TBH, this past few weeks has been absolute
    nuts. I'm off to Goimany tomorrow and the UK next week (two days). I've
    also got to go to Turkey shortly for a couple of days and at the end of
    November, Bahrain. In January, I'm off to Dubai (again)...

    This is just stuff I know about too!

    go back again.
