  1. Hi Bumpkin and thank you for your welcome. When I lived in England I used to do moto holidays in the Alps and the Drôme valley and the experiences I had led me to live here permanently.

    For anyone coming over on a jaunt, I'm in the Centre postcode 36140 Aigurande, if there's anything I can do to help.

  5. Have had thoughts along the same lines, daughters still a touch too young for me to leave yet and will need to wait for the consequences and fog of Brexit to clear but it's something that could well be in my future.

    Passing through La Châtre, enroute to Corsica, on the 13th September so will bear that in mind :upyeah:

  11. You are the same distance from Limoges as I am, but in the opposite direction.

  12. Hi Frazer and thanks for the welcome. If the Melle is in dept 79 and on the way to La Rochelle, it's about 200kms west of my place.

    Cheers

  13. Hi Bob, I'm guessing then that you must be in the general direction of Perigueux ?

  16. Thanks Dave, that would be good if you can make a meet-up. Hopefully off the ferry by 9am that morning at Le Havre. Stops for fuel and lunch around Tours should see me at La Châtre mid afternoon. A stop for an hour for coffee, cake and chat about life in France and bikes would be most welcome. Will drop you a PM with contact details.
