After talking to a few people at the National it turns out that there was a bit of interest on a trip over to France to have a look at some Normandy sites and than hop over to the other site to look at some WW1 stuff.
We are looking at the end of Mai and intend to stay for a week.
Basic Plan would be for our northern nearly independent :scotsman1: and other strange talking people to maybe make their way down south on Sat. Stay at mine,if i run out of space i am sure someone else on here would offer a place for a night, and set of for France on Sunday morning. Hop over the channel by train,lunch in Hornfleur,find a campsite and do some site seeing. Leave maybe Wednesday,go over to the WW1 sites and do the same. Make our way back maybe Saturday and you guys make your way up north on Sunday.
As usual nothing is written in stone and might change. No one has talked dates as such but the few people we where talking to prefered the end of Mai. So how about the 24th-31st of Mai?
I have a lot of the Normandy sites stored in my Satnav plus the odd lane but never been to any of the WW1 sites so any suggestions would be a appreciated

Ok,Deb and i will be going over probably on the Sat the 23rd and make ourway to Normandy.Still looking for a place for the first 2 nights as the nice campsite only opens on the 25th. We intend to stay here from monday http://www.chateau-martragny.com/index.htm?lang=en till Wednesday the 27th of May. Then make our way over to Ypres where we intent to stay here http://www.jeugdstadion.be/E/index.php till Sat/Sun. Both Campsites are central enough to make nice daytrips to a lot of places.
I suggest we meet up on the Campsites unless someone wants to come over to mine earlier and travel with us.

I had a reply back from the campste in Ypres(Jeugdstadion) and they said that they would have space for us. I did enquire for spaces for 4 tents and about 8 people. Deb and I are booked in from wed the 27th to the sunday the 31st of May
I will not book for all as i dot know yet who is definatly coming along. The cost for both of us is 48euro for 4 nights
