I can give you the names of a couple of hotels in Cochem which is a short drive away where I've stayed before.
Have a look on viamichelin JR. Cochem is right on the river with a few bars. Nice place to stay.

If you want them shout and I'll look them up.

Cheers,
John.

Can always use the hotel I would normally use, it is about 15 mins from the circuit up in the Eiffel Mountains.... want me to give him a call? They do b&B and evening meal as a norm, and have bar on site

Cant do any harm Simon, sooner we get this sorted the sooner we can all sit back and look forward to the date arriving.

Have we decided on the type and time of crossing yet?

[PhilT]

Seacat 10 am as per usual? I thought I might give that nice lady at Seacat a call and see if she could sort us out with a deal

I have a Hoverspeed privilage card that gives me 20% so a group booking must be worth at least that

[johneroberts]

There's probably a ski'ing event on. The proposed time two years ago, the place was covered in snow!

[simple1]

Checked both rings and there is nothing on, May is too late for skiing so no idea what gives. Refer to trackday Heroes for progress report as Gavin is now on the case

May is too late for skiing so no idea what gives.

I was joking about the ski event and simply making reference to the fact that you can still get snow in May as happened two years ago.
