Thanks GvS Some good options there; Tournai looks promising for location, Site looks OK, but may be quickly booked up if only 51 spaces (listed "with power supply")

Not sure if this has been thought about, But bike to bike coms might be very handy on this trip.
I brought a cpl handsets the other month for rider to pillon coms with headsets not had much chance to try them out fully yet, but they also work bike to bike with a 8 km range so not bad for £40 and have 304 channels.
Soon as the weather breaks will give them a good test and let you know.

If you have satnav....you might consider plugging in your mobile to it (via wire or bt) wouldn't need other coms that way... I prefer not to use them/phones as it can be rather distracting...

Oooo sorry McF you where in front of me............... so your turn to make tea...........lol Well actually that is incorrect. By the time you contact me on our bike to bike state of the art communication systems and I manage to slow down and turn around the mighty Pan, you will have time to light up the furnaces, make a brew and have it nicely poured by the time I elegantly glide in to render assistance Remember the specification = Julie Andrews please - White "Nun"
