re sticker.... very good! (but lose the parentheses?)

Change made...

email sent to Stop 8 hotel (good choice, of the limited selection around there! )

Thought the sticker might need a road, like the previous ones...

EPIC v3

glad to see white lines down the middle of it too!

Ok chaps - time to finalise the planning.

As usual, Hampshire Hog for pre-ferry drinks & food.
Then off to ferry, leaving pub at approx. 7:30pm/8:00pm
Ferry leaves Portsmouth at 9:30pm on the 26th May, and arrives Santander 8:00am on the 28th May, and we should be there an hour before...
So will need to get to The Hog with time for a few beers and food...

In Post No4. above, I have added Google Map links to each hotel - for those that get lost (mentioning no names.... Albert!)

Probably a good idea for those that have booked accommodation in Post No4. above to re-confirm with the hotels/B&Bs/Booking.com, etc...

The return ferry is 2:00pm on 7th June, and arrives Portsmouth 8:00pm on 8th June.

Any other info needed???

Stop 7 reconfirmed Guv

Eugene

So meet there around 6pm...?

As per WhatsApp comment, Stop 8 confirmed.

Stop-5 & 6 confirmed.
Dinner on both nights to be decided...

Remember the various document you need for driving in Europe...
