Ferry booked and paid for, now all I have to do is plan what I am doing on the way back home from Portsmouth.

[Dannyboy]

Should be able to make it home in one hit from Portsmouth. That's what I'm thinking of doing, take about 3 hours is all.

[Frajt]

I've been looking at accommodation near St Malo for the Sunday night. The nearest Campanile is about 10 km from the ferry port and currently sitting at €69 per room - two sharing

 

Or HotelF1 is a similar distance from the port and a miserly €39.30 per room (up to three adults!!). Beside a builders merchant it would seem from Google Maps.......

 

Anyone else got a recommendation?

Never mind the accommodation, have you seen how much snow there currently is in Brittany! I hope it's all gone by end of April otherwise we won't be!

I can get a single unit for about £190.00 but a double pre paired set are only £290.00. Trying to find some one who also wants one to split the difference and make a big saving.

Find anyone to go for this Danny? May be interested but would have to sell my Midland G8 first. I'll put an advert up and see if anyones interested.

I know I have a healthy appetite but I don't know if I could eat two breakfasts

So we dont need to wear high viz jackets but do need to take them in case of breakdown. No compulsary breathalisers. We do need to disable speed camera alerts on sat navs and need spare bulbs. Is that it? I will also have F5s by the end of the month. (cant say for definate I'll be able to use it  )

FECK.............. Wifes just reminded me my bikes MOT is up on 21st.

Never heard of needing a spare pair of glasses? Where did you get that from?

Directly only in Switzerland and Austria Act.

In any other country you must not drive without glasses, if you have entered the glasses in the driver license.

I have a glasses, but no entry in the license.
Nevertheless, I keep a Ertatzbrille when I go on tour. Otherwise I can not read the signs and the Navi.

To avoid being served up with an on-the-spot fine, or even having
your car impounded in France, here’s a list of all those bits and bobs
required by visiting drivers:

• Headlamp Adaptors – so you don’t dazzle oncoming traffic
• GB Stickers – mandatory to let everyone know where the car is registered
• Warning Triangle – to be placed 50-150 metres (320-480 ft) behind your car if you break down
• Fluorescent Safety Vest
• Spare Bulbs
• First Aid Kit
• Fire Extinguisher
• Spare glasses – yes, believe it or not, if you need glasses or contact lenses to drive, you must carry a second pair
• You may also need your glasses to read the reams of documentation you’re carrying, including UK Driving Licence, car registration and insurance policy documents

[Saga Lout]

Thanks for the confirmation; still, I've never done so before and don't intend to start now!

This bloody world with all its bullshit regulations so pisses me off I'm glad I probably won't be around for too many more years to endure it. Grrrrrr !

Yes, but these are not all required for bikes.
