Default Re: Le Carnage weekend to Normandy

I will welcome any help offered tbh, dan considering you've been before you are the 'expert' then on suggestions for what to see in the 3 days, thanks for volunteering

Col, once in France, I don't wanna use any dual carriageways or mways unless it's absolutely required.

Like I said, it's primarily a ww2 sight seeing weekend, but I want it to be an enjoyable ride also.

People need to be aware that if you want to see a bit of the WW2 stuff, then there is going to be a lot of start and stopping as it is all very bitty and spread out. This will not be a ride out in the conventional sense!
Must have been about the same time as us then....

To give some idea of what the area has to offer, here is a link to my Facebook album of the trip..

and a link to the trip report written up by Fizzwheel et al.
