Just wondering - how many TDMers will be there does anyone know?
How are the day-trips typically organized? Is it one route and everyone follows or are there a couple of options...like the 'Nutters Route' , 'Scenic Route' and 'Hangover Route'?
Just interested to see how they put the event together as I have not been to the continent on two wheels before..Cheers

Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.

Just started reading a bit and it said that no=one would be "forced" to ride beyond themselves. It suggested that there would be a selection of tours but the thread petered out. Will see what I can find and will report back.
I knew I should have kept my big mouth shut about my german.

Hi Alex,
Reading through the different threads on the German forum,
There will a max of 10 riders in each group. The novice rider will be in second place behind the leader.
They will put up a list of routes then each rider who wishes to go on a certian ride will put their name down for that ride.
As regards the T-Shirt they hope to have the template for it this Tues.

No worries AliG on the German. I did german in school 3000 years ago or so....what chance had I of learning anything with a demented Christian Brother called 'Plum' lurking around the classroom!

I'm not surprised the translator is struggling. There is a lot of slang on the posts, just like on ours and I have to guess some of the words too.

If anyone needs a bed/sofa in Berkshire for the way out or way back I will have one spare.
Some of you guys are doing serious mileage just to get to the Ferry.
Its only a small bed but if TonyDevil can get in it, should be ok for most.
I do a mean breakfast too.

I have a vision of some poor German trying to make sense of Google Translations of Dapleb and Wicky's posts
Hopefully JHT will be able to make this trip, his Mum's German so I assume he's got a reasonable grasp of the language. I'm determined to have a go at some of the German language CDs I've got before this trip, it was a bit embarrasing when we went to the MegaTreff a few years back with hardly a word of German between us.

Y'mean like this pile o' shite from the Kent cuntryside in another thread???
Interesting to know whats available. Was thinking of doing a batch of ceramic coated 8fiddy lioners a few years back as I found a place that would do me a deal on a batch of sea-wamic coated bits but the cost was still quite high considering it was for the porpoise of solving 850 oil consumption....and it may or may not a worked.

I am going for the same crossing (tunnel 14.20 on 22nd, returning 13.50 on 28th) and am also booked into the Chateau de Temps. Haven't booked the return stop yet. Meet at the Oakdene works for me.
Ali
I just got the phone call re overbooking at the Chateau de Temps so I'm homeless on the 22nd. Is anyone intending camping that night or does anyone want to share a room at the Formule1? There are a number of campsites listed in the Liege area and Formule1 charge EUR43 for a room with a double bed and a single bunk. I've used them before and theyr'e fine for a one night stopover.

Ali, if you want to split the costs - I`m booked in at this place http://www.booking.c...5d16865ad688567 (99 euro per night, free cancellation & onsite parking), its a twin bed room. on 22nd & 27th.
I am also thinking of taking the camping gear if the weather is looking favourable, so can easily cancel this booking if the sun comes out?

Funnily enough, I got a call today too. Me and Moose did have separate rooms booked (over a week ago), but now we're sharing. I'm thinking the owner is getting a little greedy having just had a lot of interest, especially as he was mentioning it still being 45 euro each for the now shared room. I'm sure it wasn't that much for a twin room when I booked.
Who is actually booked in there and has a confiirmed booking apart from me and Moose?

Trev, look on the bright side, at least it helps to keep the myth of 900 owners alive and may even make the 850 mob jealous

I got an email a week ago confirming the booking and now it's changed! Still waiting for the confirmation email for the change from booking.com.
