Citroen Challenge 2017

[Stickyfinger]

Not many in March ....I always drove when it was off season. The French Border guards were bemused when I turned up at their little hill top shacks ....they were buggers for looking in every crevice (in the car) however

I have a fair-sized mailing list and sent out an e-mail yesterday. If you didn't receive it and want to be on the mailing list for the event, let me know

No it isn't Jim. Could you delete it please? lol I've reposted on the correct thread.

All done as requested Phil

I'm just wondering if I could perhaps combine this with my plan to visit France for some bike touring along some TdF stages and a climb up Mont Ventoux on the bike...



I'll have to have a think...

Jim - I can recommend the Hotel Saint Georges in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne as a base for your little cycling detour A good old French hotel, cyclist friendly (a defibrillator available downstairs if you've overdone it , and secure parking 'round the back). La Toussuire right on your doorstep along with a plentiful supply of other mountain stages within easy sweating distance

Thanks Bobins Very appreciated!

I always thought the Jura was the best part of France....love that area

[DHallworth]

My name is on the list for this too

Alasdair, are you thinking of going? That would make 3 V6 Activa's then!!

David.

[Stickyfinger]

Thinking about it....hard for me to plan that far ahead as I have a 84 year old to look after

[CitroJim]

Yes, That would be good Alasdair, I'm hoping mine will be a V6 by then...

I may just have to tag along at the last minute. You never know with elderly health/chickens

I know exactly, same applies to my dad...

Being the main care source is the problem.....and having a Brother who does not give a crap/visit ever despit being 20 miles away/give me some break time - really prevents me doing/planning anything.
I may have to have a chat with my cousin in the New Forest (who is in the same boat) about a "stay away" for Mum. That however will upset her in a whole new way, disruption sends her off into panic attacks ect as I found out when I had time away to get the Activa.
