Verdun Tour 16-18 March 2012
We are putting together a return trip to Verdun for the weekend 16-18 March 2012.
The accommodation we used last time is no longer available but we think we've identified somewhere else.
Flying Monkey is available that weekend to lead the group again.
This is just a warning order & I'm not looking for firm commitments.
I'll post the accommodation once we have a firm booking.Last edited by oldbaldy; 07-12-2011 at 14:20.
I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.

Again guys typically I will be in warmer climes so I won't be on this one, absolutely gutted, OB I will have a shirt though so let me know nearer the time....
Keep Bohs in check as the poor lad needs a hand to hold. But seriously guys have a good one Verdun is the best place for the visual effect and leave Bohs locked up at Fort Vaux ;)A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Bohs told us that but he also said that although you may be in sunnier climes you'll make sure everywhere you are is airconditioned!!!
