Comprendre.

My car insurance provider in Switzerland includes breakdown recovery. I don't have it for my UK cars, guess Id better take a look at it.

Finally got round to booking the hotel in Reims for the 15th.
It's the Campanile Reims Sud Murtigny.

Cost is approx. €90 each inc breakfast.

I also sent James the URL's for all the routes. He's recommended software to down load which you then up load the routes into, then allowing you to down load them into your Sat Nav.

Yes, I have the routes as Google Map URLs.

I will use www.tyretotravel.com software which is compatible with most Garmin models, and older TomToms. TomTom changed in the last couple of years to be incompatible with this method.

Garmin - GPX files
TomTom - .ITN files

If you have such a device I recommend you download the free version of the software. Create a route in Google Maps. Upload the route URL into the software, convert it and then upload into your device. Once you have worked this out it should be straightforward to upload the files I create.

Just to let you all know, i have booked the Campanile Hotel Reims Sud.

its work out at approx. 90 euros a room inc breakfast and we can pay on check in (i've guaranteed to booking) on the 15th.

Must be having a senior moment, maybe I've eaten too much bread

Guys, all those on FB, re: the Audermars Piquet museum, I've sent you a PM asking for your email address, Home Address, telephone number, and Name.
These are required for the museum tour which is private.
I in turn need to email these on to them.
Please get this info to me by Sunday.
Ps. I don't need your bank details, I'm not going to pass this information onto someone in Nigeria

I have emailed Stuart the .GPX files (Garmin format). If anyone else wants these emailed directly please PM your addy.

Kinda excited I s'pose
