Re: Re: Gathering in France 2015? Ferry Booked.
Hi all
Due to the bank holiday, we could not get the ferry booking we wanted, so this year we are crossing by tunnel. We are booked on the 11.50pm train on Friday evening and will be stopping the night on the Cite Europe Motorhome parking area here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/50%C2%B055%2758.3%22N+1%C2%B048%2740.4%22E/@50.932858,1.811223,577m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0?hl=en.
This will be the first rally point for anyone wanting to join us for the drive to Lyons la Foret. We will be having breakfast here and will be here until 10.00am. The plan is then to head for the motorway and head for Forges-les-Eaux. On the motorway it is a 2 hour drive to Forges-les-Eaux and our rally point will be the E.D. Supermarket here https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/E.d/@49.611472,1.546507,3a,75y,175.82h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1s04V56TmxJnZRkDINc2w3zQ!2e0!4m19!1m16!4m15!1m6!1m2!1s0x47e736c5af2f9bcd:0xc1fa6c696abcf418!2sE.d,+Rue+Doct+Cisseville+27,+76440+Forges-les-Eaux,+France!2m2!1d1.54651!2d49.611447!1m6!1m2!1s0x47e72bb34e195f21:0x40c14484fbb9d70!2sLyons-la-For%C3%AAt,+France!2m2!1d1.475351!2d49.398575!3e0!3m1!1s0x47e736c5af2f9bcd:0xc1fa6c696abcf418!6m1!1e1.
This is a discount supermarket, but has a very good butchery section and very good fruit and veg. We will be shopping here and having a bite of lunch. We will be aiming to leave here about 1.00pm and driving the last 30km to Forges la Foret. From Forges-les-Eaux, the campsite is part of the sport centre on the left as you enter the village.
As for booking the campsite, if there are only a few of us, it is probably not necessary as this is a large site and very quiet at this time of year. Please can people let me know if you are thinking of coming so I know whether or not to book spaces.
Hope this helps. let me know if you need any more info
Cheers Mick
