Hi Mart

Bonjour Dave,

You don't have to reserve a spot if you come with a tent. For cabines,
caravans etc. you have to reserve. See you soon, the beer stands cold!!!

Greetzzz,

Renske & Pieter

It is increasingly likely that I will be working over the RTT trip time, so best to cancel me out. If I can grab a few days and got nothing better to do, then I might try to join in for a day or so.
