frenchie Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Give " Motorsport Travel " a go, they have a good web site and recently used them and was impressed price wise when compared to calling the ferry companies direct. That particular crossing is reknowned for being expensive, and it will be a two days drive down through France if you use Calais or Boulogne. If you use that route " Speed ferries " is worth a look. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beamish owners club Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Thanks Frenchie, that's worth a go, do you have the web address? Going through France isn't really an option. There are three of us, one can't drive at all and another can only drive an automatic - the van is manual. So it's not fair for one poor soul to drive all that way! Worst case is that a couple of us fly down just to spectate but it would be good to ride! Cheers, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old trials fanatic Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Jim thanks for the offer but i saw Javier yesterday at the pre65 Scottish and gave him my entry fee. I managed to fill in the form eventually. You may have a problem contacting him as he has changed his e mail address but i'm sure as soon as he gets back home and checks on here he will drop you a line. See you there.

big john Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Robregordo 2008 - what can I say. It was wet sometimes, sometimes it was sunny. My Grandmother could have ridden the Bultaco Sherpa better than I did, but hey I had fun! At last, I finally met Bernie Schreiber and Manuel Soler, two of my Bultaco heroes of yesteryear, great to meet you guys! But I also met folks that I hadn't seen since last year and beyond, Andreu Codina; Miguel Cirerra; Paul Rose; Eduardo Gomez De Salazar; Horacio San Martin; Jose Franquera, the list goes on. Many thanks to the fantastic Sotobike Club and Sotobike Sport that made Robregordo 2008 possible. To my friend Javier Cruz (see you at Alvie!) for looking after me and my riding buddies this year, as the "3 amigos" - Jock McComisky and Bill Emmerson. Carlos Bosch for the loan of his 350 Bultaco - my old friend from last year. To the rest of the British contingent including John & Evelyn Collins, good to see you all there. (No I don't want to ride a Greeves, next year) Last but not least, to my friends Nigel and Jill Greenwood for the fun we had. My sympathies go to the poor Spanish guy with the dissappearing TLR200, gone but not forgotten, hope you find it when the water levels receed! Hopefully, see you in Robregordo next year!

Big John Oi what about me I must second all that BJ has said above a fantastic event made even more special by the friendliness and passion of the people. Also thanks should go out to all the support of the wives and partners for their support. Above all a very special partner who rarely gets a mention on here, Alexandra the long suffering wife of Javier i've got a radial fin Bultaco in my living room Cruz . She always makes me feel so welcome and is the most fantastic hostess so Donna and myself thank you both for the food and hospitality oh yes and that lovely log fire . Hope to make it again next year too. Just wanted to add my comiserations to Jim (Beamish Owners Club) who slipped a disc before even getting his bike out of the van and spent the rest of the weekend flat on his back in bed. When i last spoke to him on my moby halfway across the Bay of Biscay he had been transferred to a second hospital and was hoping to be flown back to the UK on Wednesday. Hope you get up and about again soon mate. Also whilst we are on about injuries. What a great ride by Magical Mick virtually one handed and still won his class on that beautiful Ossa, gonna get my ruler out when i next go round as i want my MAR to look so good, which to me was the performance of the trial. Finally great to see Rosey even if it was behind a camera. Wonder how much he needs NOT to publish the photos Lets try to get a big Trials Central contingent there next year Edited May 27, 2008 by Old trials fanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
