OK, here's my pitch : 300 mls south east of Dieppe in Central France Beautiful quiet roads in the Creuse and Auvergne Beautiful lunches average 13.50€ for 4 courses and wine Lakes, forests and rivers Camping grounds dead cheap, gites available (will check-out bunk style accom if interested) A chance to polish your linguistic skills with the Aigurande girls Three bars in the village with good beer, coffee, even TEA !!!!
From Dieppe to Aigurande (Ground Central) : https://www.google.com/maps/dir/762...a1a1!2m2!1d1.828597!2d46.434011!3e0!5i1?hl=en Will take 4-5 hrs.
First days ride-out : https://www.google.com/maps/dir/361...82e6!2m2!1d1.879167!2d45.797222!3e0!5i1?hl=en Lunch by a beautiful lake
Great place to visit and ride bikes, was not too far from you a few weeks ago biglad, Tours, Oradour, Limoges and then headed for La Rochelle. But the roads we were on around Tours-Limoges were fantastic. If your suggestion for the GMU to be held in France goes ahead I really hope I can attend, great idea.
I'm definitely up for this as the International Forum trip. Would be good to see big lad again! Count me in.
I’d love to do, it w*rk permitting, if 28+ people wanted to do it would that constitute a gmu? Is it numbers or location. The fact that it’s abroad would make it a foreign gmu anyways. There will always be one in the Uk no matter what, I hope!!
Well it looks like we have a couple of solid ideas for the 2019 international trip...... I'm up for either or any other suggestions. Wessa
Its a fair spin for me but that's the adventure , If we do go to France then its either a ferry to the uk and another to france or direct to france on a over nighter to Roscoff.
So would I but time off and funds would probably scupper it Will have a talk with wor lass and if she fancies it as our holiday it might and I mean might be feasible
I'm up for it. Call it a GMU or Donald effing Duck, makes no difference. Love France. Still want to do the Picos de Europa though. Would need a hotel or good bunkhouse though Dave.
Hi Andy, glad to hear that you're up for the idea, at least. I put this up to gauge interest, so if there's enough I'll start looking into accommodation.
