Mowgli Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hey,Myself and a couple of friends are planning on going to Buthiers for a week at the end of june. We have a full car but just wondering if there were any others that were up for getting a car together and riding there?? Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Almost definitely going to be about 4 jersey riders there, but we were planning on going later in the summer holidays, like august time?Most of us have college up until july anyway.

Matthew62 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'll be passing by for a day or two around mid-august, which might tie in with my birthday actually. not going to stick around for too long but i'll be riding Paris first for a few days so its the next stop down so have to give it a bash as i've never been there before.Hopefully i'll bump in to some english trials riders whilst im there!

JonCongreve Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I went for Koxx days and loved it so much that i said i'd go in the summer. Been talking to 2 friends you are hopefully up for it, but we haven't booked anything yet, just been planning. Are you thinking of camping up there? Would be good to contact Buthiers to see if they could open the facilities as long as we pay. I was thinking of going around the last week of June/early July, but it depends on other things atm so can't really book anything, but i'll have to let you know if anything changes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearded Midget Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 i would love to go there. i guess ill have to wait and see if any of my mates can drive by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 How do we go about using the facillities there? The ones up the top? I was just gonna set up a tent there and thats it. Do you actually have to book anything? Really trying to get some jersey lads to go, having trouble getting a car/van big enough though, and someone to actually drive it lol. Doubt we would be going before the end of june. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) i was told the koxx days place is open all the time for normal camping, am i mistaken?? Tom, you may need to bring your spare wheel with you, i have ruined my hub and i am sure i will probably ruin it again after hope have sent it back.

Mowgli Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 yeah, i did think of bringin it just incase, what happened to your hub? it broke, lol. managed to snap two springs and kill the the body that the springs and pawls sit in. god knows how, but hope better fix it. the buthiers campsite is 28 euros a week per person. it doesnt say anything about paying per tent too. I assume this includes showers etc. we need some sort of fridge too to keep beer and food cold! rents may have one that drives off the car battery but iremember it being a bit rubbish. should get return crossing for 80-90 pounds. and the rest is just food drink and fuel!

TheChai Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 sounds good, probably be there if i can sort out transportt and some one to come along.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Where are you getting the info and prices from? Do we just pay there and then? 28 euros is cheap as chips, gonna be class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Its best if you contact them first and let them know you're coming. That way, they can open the facilties etc already for you. Could do with knowing specific dates ie 23rd - 29th? Money wise, £150 should be enough. If you're clever, those of you with nice parents will get them to buy tins of food before you go, so you don't have to eat "le lapin" for tea every night. Badger days was a great success last year...well it wasn't....half of us got hospitalised but anyway it was still a good experiance and I HIGHLY reccommend anyone who CAN go SHOULD go. Don't know If I'll be going. I'd love to but being in uni has a serious cramp on my budget I'll see what I can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Thankyou for the advise Partz, would it be best to email of phone them?? (My french has quite alot to be desired). prices i got from www.base-de-buthiers.fr. the dates we are aiming for are 21st till the 28th/29th. Food wise, my plan was to stock up in Carfore or l'eclerc (supermarket) on the way down. Bread, cheese and wine are my priorities, lol.

Mowgli Posted May 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yeah, you were not the only one that was'nt invited sorry dude, there wasnt really much of a plan. it just came up in conversation and tom said he wanted to come. if more people are willing to drive come along, it would be awesome to have a bit of a group going. make a good road trip down there too.

Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 No Jersey riders are going now, f**k sake. Can't get a lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCongreve Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Myself and a friend are up for it. I can't really book the ferry yet as it's not definate definate as we'll have to see after my exams, and also depends on when my friend can finish college. Really looking forward to riding there again though. Garmin charge too much to upgrade to European mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 We are all set to go, will be on the 08:00 ferry from dover to calais on 21st June, spent £180 so far on everything (breakdown, ferry etc) so all that is left is fuel camping and food. So will come to the cost of an average holiday. Let me know if your going, if u decide to come could always get the same ferry as us and follow us down.
