Steve,

Looks like I won't be able to make it to yours by 4.30. Logistics of waiting for kids to get home from school means I shan't be able to set off until about 4pm.

So I'll aim to meet everyone at the Churchillian at 7pm or catch up with you on the A3.  ;D

Rob.

Dear All,
            With the level of commitment required for this trip it would seem unlikely that anyone will go down with 'weatheritis'. However unlike the UK, Brittany seems likely to be blessed with a gorgeuos weekend of sunshine, maybe some light cloud. Of course as true adventurers we will be prepared for monsoons and the remnants of Huricane 'Isaac'.
              The chicken bones say 'twill be nice. Heres hoping  :wize:

Quite excited now.

From the BBC weather forecast, looks good. Looking forward also. I have emailed lady at first nights stop and asked her to get some cases of cold beers and wine in.

Also asked her to book us a resteraunt for 9 people, + cabs.

See you all Thursday.

It's not a proper Atom trip if you don't get drenched on day1.  ;)

Beers and wine organised for arrival in Huelgoat! Laura has also booked us a restaurant for Friday night.

Saturday is sorted with Mark and Inga's celebration.

Shall I organise Sunday, or we could phone Hotel on Friday from France, play it by ear etc?

George, are you going  to Steves garage now that Rob is going direct to pub or meeting him?

Simon, see you in that same lay by on A3. We will be leaving Putney at 4.45 -5, hopefully fuelled, so travelling time to you.

Regards

Julian

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works - I may be leaving from Southampton to get to Portsmouth. So I'd be meeting everyone at the Churchillian at 7pm. I'll confirm it later today.

George - have PM'd you.

George,

If Steve is travelling from Southhampton, you can come to mine in Chiswick for the same time, just as easy. I am right on top of the M4, then pick up Simon on A3.

I will keep an eye on Steves plans and PM you my address etc if needed.
