Just received renewed passport so can now look at travelling options. I note that some of you are going by the fastcat service and was wondering if it is Saturday the 18th June that you have booked into the hotel in Cherbourg? If it is Saturday, what hotel have you booked? I will be checking with Dave (murff) to see what plans he has made for travel before I confirm my bookings.

Cheers Marc, I will speak to Dave at the weekend to see what arrangements he has made and then make a decision. If you wouldn't mind, please let me know what hotel you are considering booking. I know there is an F1 in Cherbourg which are not bad value for money.
