[grantl]

Liking the sound of a deal but the link is taking me to hotmail.
Am I being a bit slow?

 

[foxfish]

Ah yes - well I cant seem to link the deal that is in fact on face book but this is what is says...


Fly from £29.99 one way

We've also extended many of our winter routes into the summer, and increased frequencies to give you even more choice and flexibility for next year's travel

 

[foxfish]

So Grant, Liesel and bump might be coming, have you a hotel in mind?

 

[grantl]

Grant, Liezl and 7 month old girl will be there for sure(choosing a name should be simple but geez it anything but!).

I'm going to bring my little Mitsubishi Animal across on the ferry, can't wait to try and drive that on the island
We're planning to stay for a week or so and fit the fish in into the middle.

Hoping to rent a chalet/cottage or similar but finding deals on them isn't so easy :-(

 

[foxfish]

OK sound great if a little expensive! I will have a look for something suitable....

 

[grantl]

Thanks

 

[foxfish]

This one is conveniently situated near me Tertre Farm holiday cottages in Vale - Guernsey - Channel Islands as a lot of the self catering is in the upper parishes & as far from town and me as you can get.
This one is in town Ilex Lodge Self Catering Apartments in Guernsey, Channel Islands
Just outside town Del Mar Court Self Catering Guernsey Holidays
And this is a very good value one where the Jersey guys stay right in the center of Guernsey Channel Islands Direct - Le Friquet Apartments, Guernsey

 

[Yeti]

I'm in! Not sure on finer details but will be bringing van over again. Hopefully bringing the family this time.

Shame I haven't had chance to get over in Sept as I wanted to but still hoping to try and get over to catch up with Jersey Massif at some point too.

 

[denian]

When do the condor/ferry summer time table prices come on line? im trying to book for the meet.

 

[foxfish]

I am not sure, january perhaps but dont worry about the ferry crossing being booked up, it is the Guernsey accommodation that gets booked up!
In fact you are more likely to get a ferry bargain deal neared the date.
Do you have any idea where you might want to stay - I mean camp site, guest house or hotel?

 

[denian]

The brides booked us into the wayside cheer hotel from 1st to 5th Aug 2113!While I've been working away I'm getting there!I hope.

 

[spudguncat]

Hey there Foxfish,
how much would the campsites be do you rekon,i wouldnt mind coming along next year i have already booked the sunshine!

 

[foxfish]

The wayside is our last relic left from the booming tourist days of the 60s & 70s.
The hotel has seen many famous showman acts & still has live music several days a week but it is pretty run down & basic. However perfectly fine for a few days spearfishing holiday!
Spud, I have posted lots of info in last years thread, I will paste it here later on today...

 

[foxfish]

Some suggested accommodation can be found here http://forums.deeperblue.com/deeper...erblue-com-announce-guernsey-meet-2012-a.html
I would recommend this campsite CAMPING IN GUERNSEY
However look out for cheap hotel deals like the Wayside as you can get some really good prices if you book now!
The Jersey guys stayed here & thought is was good value Booking.com: Le Friquet Country Hotel, Castel, United Kingdom - 100 Guest reviews. Book your hotel now!

 

[Trelawney]

We stayed at La Bailloitere campsite for this year's meet. It was great value and we will probabley camp there again next year. There was lots of room, quiet, wi-fi by the main house and hot showers etc. We paid £8 per person per per night.

 

[foxfish]

I hope you guys are watching our hospital on tele every week?
Tonight's was a good one as it featured some fishing, it should be on line later tonight but here is last weeks anyway ..

So far, we have 5 confirmed from Jersey. Getting a Hotel in peak season is not easy and we couldn't get 5 single rooms at Le Friquet (they have three), so we are also staying at the Wayside cheer.

We haven't booked the ferry yet but aim to arrive am Friday 2nd Aug and travel back pm Monday 5th. looking fwd to it.

 

[foxfish]

That is really good news mate, definitely enough guys to have a party already!
