Le trip to Le Menez Hom
« on: January 31, 2013, 10:34:57 AM »
Lets invade Brittany!  :D

Ralph, John, Roisin and myself are making the trip this year to the Menez Hom meeting.
Meeting dates are 10 - 11 - 12 May 2013 (The ascension week end is early this year).

Anybody else want to join?  :D  

Celtic Link ferry to Cherbourg allow us to leave on the Tuesday (7th) and leave the following Tuesday (14th), so that should be plenty of flying  :D

Campsite is at a very short drive away from the slope ( http://www.menezbichen.fr/content/gb/the-camping/welcome/1/ ) but of course, other accomodations are available. This is also a very nice part of the World, with lots of things to see and visit, and that's without even talking about the food and local beuverages!  :D

And on the GPR : http://lesgpr.free.fr/manifestations/reportages/menez-hom2012/menez-hom2012.htm

So come on, who else is coming??  :D  :D

Had a chat with Michel and Monique.
The dates for the event has been moved a day, and now starting the 9 - 10 - 11 of May! (because of the Wednesday, being a Bank Holiday in France)

Fred, JP, just wondering if anyone is interested in the mobile home options? They were popular with the rest of the participants! Looking at about 250 Euro for up to six people, twice the price of camping but looks like it could be better if we have Menez/Irish weather :(
What do ye think should we look into it (also means less tents=more wine :oops: )

Ralph I would go for the mobile home option, less kit to carry and dry.

Cheap enough, 190 euro for a 4 person or 245 euro for a 6 person, I was thinking 2 by 4 person mobiles, does this sound like a plan?

Fred I'll give you a buzz over the weekend.
