The names you mention of place in your thread Fizz its so odd seeing those places as they are now. I've had a real keen interest in WWII since playing with soldier as a kid and its kind of odd hearing the places been mentioned.
Not long back I watch band of brothers for nearly the millionth time and the thought of going into Carantan for beers seems totally alien to me.
I visited Aushwitz this spring, I imagine the memorial was much the same atmosphere. Most bizare thing is the silence, just been there seems to make even the noise of a coach engine seem like a semi-silent drone somewhere in the distance.

Im game as long as i can get it off even for a couple of days

did it this summer.
i would steer clear of going over there around the anniversary of D-day/overlord as it will be rammed full of campervans, and the prices will hike astronomically.

eating out round there aint that cheap as it is, try 10E for an omlette...

Just out of interest, the "Wiltshire Bikers" are planning a France trip on 12/13 June.


If the dates finished up the same, could be fun

This is a trip I've been wanting to do for sometime - I'd also like to include some of the 'Band of Brothers' locations - Carentan, Saint Mer-Eglise etc, but- as Fizz has stated around the D-Day date could be a problem.

However, can you add me as a 'possible' ?

dam you people for putting ideas in my head, did arnham many years ago as a red **** so the beaches would be good bang up details and i beat the bank manager till she pays up
ps +1 to fizz i wouldnt do d day either
