I can purchase up to 10 days leave a year (so basically unpaid) if needed, so I could do that if needed. These need to be 'bought' in February though, so I will need to know by then. normally there is no issue with carrying 3 or so days forward but it is at your manager's discretion and I have a new manager...

I'll sort it all out, but I need dates confirmed really.

I guess by mid December I'll know how my op has gone and if it's in April then I don't have to worry about work, getting time off will be easy. If you go May 4th then the Monday 7th is a UK bank holiday - so the ferry may be more busy/expensive perhaps?

May 1st and 8th are French bank holidays from what I can work out.

And the French port workers will probably be on strike on all the days in between!

No prob re booking ferry prior to xmas. Just hoping I have a new bike for france

Is this still on?

Are we still looking at booking ferris before Christmas or has that slipped back to next year?

Foot op done - and I reckon I'm still up for this. Mr LPH's mate did the trip last Easter and when I bumped into him at the bike show last week he gave me the name of the place they stayed and said it was absolutely brilliant. An English couple running a biker friendly B&B/Self Catering. So if an alternative might be considered to camping then this couold be the place. They can sleep 8 in the 2 self catering gites.

Undercover storage for bikes, a games room and I think they will drop you off at the pub if you ask nicely.

It's 100% still happening, not sure whether to book ferry before or just after Xmas, just wanna book early so we get a good price.


This will soon come round and I for one am looking forward to this as it's 10 years overdue.

I can book the ferry whenever just say the word...

I just had my first physio session. When asked if I had managed the two weeks in a cast with my leg elevated and complete rest I said 'Yes of course.... almost' and then owned up to the trip to the seaside, Bernard Biker Chick's birthday party, going out for a curry, forcing Christopher to visit a grungey Essex nightclub and going to the Bike Show. I then got told off.

The bad news is I'm not allowed on the bike until the new year - but the good news is that by April the physio sees no reason why long rides should be a problem.
