I make the coordinates 49 064879 and 0 364030, were you thinking of somewhere else?

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

When you use them like this you end up right in front of the capel. Just copy and paste them in your browser.

49.064889, -0.364028

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

Well out of interest, I've put all three coordinates into Google maps.

Han's puts you a few meters down the lane from the chapel.

Henk's puts you a few meters up the lane from the chapel.

But Google maps doesn't seem to recognize Steve's?

This is weird.
I put in Henks and its spot on with Hans in the middle of a nearby field, this is good however as if you space mine and put dots in, it is somewhere near Paris. :blush:

The address is Roc Martel, 14680 Fresney-le-Puceux, France, possibly?

If you do do the run on the 4th June I would be interested in joining you Ron.

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

We don't pin a date to visit the shrine so early. My idea is to contact the local government to arrange permission to renew the plaque. The location (there's only the shrine here, a little bit in the middle of nowhere so you can't miss it) is quite a distance away from the coast and where most of us are, so a dry tour would be much preferred. I will however do my best to communicate the exact date as soon as possible and it will be in this post.

Regards,

Sven

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

Hans tried to make contact with the Mayor and the local Clergyman but got no reply. In the end, on the day, we got permission from the Mayors gardener......Good enough for us. In all the years, it's never been removed or defaced. Ron

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

Hello Ron,

I will make every effort possible to attend the Fife Memorial Run. My wife and I arrive in Paris at 7:00am on June 3rd. If the run is on the 3rd, we'll make a mad dash for Fresney le Puceux and hopefully get there in time to meet up with you guys.
Regards,
James

Re: Don Fife Memorial run 2019

The trip from campsite and back is roughly 70 miles, lots of which is on lovely quiet country roads and as Sven suggests, is best done on a dry day, so probably 3rd or 4th dependent on the forecast near the time. Ron

Paul I suggest you make your camping arrangements ASAP. I guess that everywhere will be filling up by now. Ron

Don Fife Memorial run 2019

Hi all,

The plaquette is finished. I've had it made out of durable alloy plate with the image and text laminated on.
The foil is weather and light resistant and I will try to use some layers of the plaquette that is currently installed in the shrine.
