Waow really!?

You could give us a good hearty breakfast to get us ready for the long haul :P

We arrive in Stranraer at around 10:30am on Sunday 27th and then on the last day we will probably be there in the afternoon, our boat home is at 7:55pm on Sunday 11th July, but we will probably arrive in Stranraer easily in early afternoon that day if we really wanted!

Wow, that's going to be a fantastic trip:cool:

I completely understand, recovery period is set out for that day ;)

If we could call in it would be nice, get to see a fellow .org-er.

Would probably arrive in stranraer around 4-6pm, as the boat is at 7:55 :)

(correction, 2 mates and we'd be in stranraer that day long before that time hopefully, unfortunatly I'm on an earlier boat than the other 2)

if you zoom in at Ripoll... where we take a right, from then on looks like an awesome trek to Perpignan... have to show the other guys though to see whether or not they would be up for that or not...

[renman8957]

Don't forget my boats at the earlier time of 5.30 on the return trip, we'll have to sort something out about that really
