Platinum Member digger Posted February 7, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 7, 2022 It is not easy going through how to pay! The easiest and cheapest I found is online though via Post Office/International Money transfer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted February 7, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 7, 2022 Doodle . Travel lodge etc. I 10 hours ago, doodle said: Digger, When we have done Chambon before - we stayed at this travel lodge.. just around corner from ferry, caught the 07:00 ish ferry and then trump on down some 400 miles for the night https://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/640/Dover-hotel?utm_source=google&utm_medium=GHA_Organic&utm_campaign=GHA_Dover&GHA_Organic 'm happy to book this too for Thurs night 15th. I didn't realise that the Chateau was only about 3 hours from the Channel coast. A lot nearer than Dover for me on this side. Are you going across on the ferry then? What about the tunnel? I will have a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actually got that far into organizing that side of things, Ive booked/reserved the hotel/bb from Thursday night until Monday for now. I guess the plan was to look at ferry or euro nearer the time. As its only a few hours the other side its no so much an issue for me staying in dover or Folkstone the night before. Chambon - yes- as its much further down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member doodle Posted February 13, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted February 13, 2022 Evening D, That's good. Yes I received the confirmation email beginning of week. I'm booked into Jardin du the 637 Chaussée de Liège, Namur, 5100, Belgium. For now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted February 14, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi Doodle, I only know one person who is familiar with this area. They tell me Namur is lovely place. I just booked (cancellable} some where acceptable whether I'm one or two in Andenne which is nearest. It all seemed very booked up there when I looked. Its my belief that cheapest ferry bookings are advertised on a Tuesday, so I am going to look again tomorrow. I'll let you know what I decide. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member frosty Posted February 14, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 14, 2022 it is a nice area, Namur is good, Liege is really rough, as are a few of the south Belgian towns, car and contents theft is a big problem, due to a very high amount of illegal immigrants that are living off what they can steal, i would advise camping on site, the facilities are very good. i lived in Liege for 3 years, the language is french. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Wildjeeper62 Posted February 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi guys, For info I paid for the Belgium event by Bank Transfer. I haven't decided yet if I go B&B or Camping. I will look into that soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member digger Posted February 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thanks Frosty. After reading your comments I did a bit of 'digging' too! I am now booked into ''Jardin du The'' in Namur. At the end of the day if weather is good and if I am on my own or have a passenger who is happy to do so, I will camp. Otherwise the 'Jardin du the looks good and it has private parking. I have also booked 'Premier inn ,Dover East' for the 15th and the 20th. My ferry is 16th 07.50 Dover to Calais P&O.

Platinum Member Wildjeeper62 Posted August 10, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted August 10, 2022 Dear JOC members attending this event, have you received an email from the Belgian Jeepers regarding a panoramic Road Book? If not check your spam folder. It is not compulsory so it is entirely up to you. Basically it's a touristic ride of about 3 hours to discover the beauty of the Belgium countryside with a stop to taste the local products in a Farm. No off roading there but that sounds really nice so I booked myself for the 10am ride. Paull aka Doodle is also booked for that time. Your email will give you 3 choices of departure so if you fancy doing it with us pick the 10am option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
