Is any one from the USA thinking about going to Normandy in 2014? I'm seriously considering going. I'd like to ship my bike over and I'm looking for someone to split the cost of shipping a crate with two bikes and gear over to Etreham. I'm in the process of getting a quote for the shipment. The last estimated quote I got was about $1,200-$1,400.00 USD round trip. I'm also checking for flights over. I have available to me a companion ticket which is a free ticket with the purchase of a regular priced ticket which is about $1,400.00 USD round trip Boston to Paris. I need to confirm that the ticket is valid for international travel. I would be willing to split the cost of my ticket and use the companion ticket with someone that is interested. If interested, email me and we can discuss details.
I've just been looking at the post by Canvas Grip which says the furthest entrants so far are from Malta and Italy - it'd be good to see you there James.
Who has the smallest distance to travel? I'm under an hour from the ferry and I'm guessing it's a similar distance to Etreham from the Cherbourg ferry?
Just 3 miles to the ferry in Poole for me. I am fettling a bike purchased by US Mark Frost from a UK dealer, which he intends to ride in Normandy. I'm still waiting to hear his plans though. Ron
Hi James, I'm definitely coming over to Normandy in 2014. As Ron mentioned, I've got a bike in Poole, Dorset that I'll be taking on the ferry to France already. I will be flying into England, so I am note sure I'm a good candidate for your plan, but let's keep in touch just the same.
