How about some continental touring?

[Loz]

Is anyone up for Champagne weekend in convoy? DOn't know how much you guys and gals like driving but, there is a great run down to Rheimes (check the spelling) but they have Champers Caves that u can tour and buy a few bottles or cases... The food is great and it's a good long or standard weekend run from Dover.

Anyone up for a cruise? I know u probly have folks that organise stuff but if I'm speaking out of turn, I don't mind putting my time where my mouth is and sorting it all out. Would be a laugh to see half a dozen or more Lexi roll off a car ferry into Calais and then down the Route Nationale to a suitable rest stop for a first taste of proper cheese!

Let me know,

Loz

Sounds good to me and dependent on when, if funds allow (!) that would be good :)

[Loz]

Hi Claire,

Glad someones up for it! Now all we need is convenient date and a game plan. I'm happy to sort it all out. Date will determin crossing costs but I bet late season ain't dear. How about we canvass for availability on 28/9 Sept 5/6 Oct (Pref) or 12/13 October.

Dover departure. Maybe it would be as well to meet on the Friday night? for those travelling down from the north. then a morning crossing and nice drive cross country to Rhemes (spelt differently every time!) taking in the cathedral and a few rest stops...

how are those dates working for you, anyway?

Loz :smilegrin:

a "must stop" to do there is the antic boxes of the Reims circuit

[Loz]

Boy, don't you know that to buy in volumes smaller than a half case is to say to the world at large, "I know not where the game begins".

Playa,

Get your Merthilago (for those who don't pronounce euro-accents well) and try not to spill any Dom Pom on the way back!!

Rgds,

Loz :smug:

Hi Vince,

It's on as far as I am concerned! check the dates I posted and let me know it the 5/6th Oct works for you. I think it suits those with a month end pay day and the rest of us.

Lets do it. talk is cheap and for the birds! Who are you gonna bring? how many and lets sort travel and Accomodation. I know a great chateau that a friend recommended. Great rooms from £40 to £100 quid and I am talking Lexus worthy!

Come on LOC. Get 'em while their hot!

[vince-com]

Sounds great, anyway if we come from Paris, would be for a day only, was thinking about a nice pic to do, a few Lexus standing in front of the antic boxes circuit:)

Ariaval In Calais and meet up with Continental contingent

Head toward the bubbles with a couple of stops en route ( after swapping mobile numbers in case convey gets split up)

Arrive at Rheims and check into pre booked hotel. (one night stay)

Spend pm in bars/restaurants Champers Caves...

Sunday do Cave tours, Buy bubbles and leg it cross country to the coast in convoy with scenic stops en route.

Head back to the ferry, back to blighty after food in Langan's Brasserie aboard the good ship lolly pop!

Done!
