Default Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

Right pop pickers, as a few of you know i want to go to Normandy and want some of you gits to join me so here's what ive got in mind.

Either late crossing on Thursday 26th April or Thursday 3rd May, three full days in Normandy, see the best of the sights, come home Monday.

Im open to suggestions in terms of dates, ferry crossings etc etc.

Purpose of this thread is to get the ball rolling and let peeps put their names down and start to get some pennies saved.

I think camping is easiest, cheapest and if we have a few of us, most sociable way to do it.

One thing to mention, this is a primarily a WW2 sight seeing tour, probably no point in putting your name down if you have no interest in this stuff, Also, i know it goes without saying but we have to be respectful when looking round some of the sights as with all stuff like this.

Finally, a few people have posted on other forums about getting the ferry to Caen rather than Calais then riding down, that sounds reasonable but bare in mind it will cost more on the ferry.

Ive just done a quick search for end of April and it came back as £200
I'll go with the flow tbh, not bothered either way.

So to start the ball rolling...

Hmm, it's a wifey's too trip is it?

I'll test the water on that one. Not sure how long she'd want to sit on the back of the Daytona.

EDIT: Scratch that, it's term time, she wouldn't be able to go.

EDIT2: Scratch that too, she doesn't work Friday's or Mondays....
