Yes I’m very interested in this one but I’ll have to see how funds are nearer the date, so I’m a big provisional at the moment.

We must all watch saving private ryan the night before :w00t:

I AM IN if you stick to 23rd/24th Oct :w00t:

THANKS MATE.

Ok cool guys, thanks.

Let me look into this further and see about hotels. Maybe a Formula1 just to compare the costs.

It will be cold for sure but like sunday so long as it stays dry the roads should be good fun.

I will keep you all posted.

I’ve been to Omaha Beach at the beginning of September. Nice ride and Omaha Beach itself is beautiful and full of history.
Good luck!

35

Is there a campsite nearby?

Saves him using his sat nav:D

37

Rideout day passes are hard to come by… Anyone know how to negotiate an overnight one? :ermm:

I saw one campsite there next to the beach but it was already closed. I’ve spent two nights in a B&B for 60,-EUR; I was on my own in a room with two beds, so it might be cheaper per head if you’ll be in a group. It’s a lovely retired couple’s house and, what you may appreciate there, the guy speaks fluent English and he knows a lot about the place. They have three rooms there in the house all together for about 8-10 people.

You can see a sign “B&B” there when driving alongside the beach - easy to find. It’s about 100 meters from the beach. There are two or three hotels nearby too…
