Raider Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Anyone given thoughts to what hotel they might be using?Our team will be going over the night ebfore the start and should arrive in the Lille area around 18.30 French time.Haven't started looking for a hotel yet but I imagine we'll choose somewhere cheap outside of Lille itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshire_spam Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Not much help, but I think Andie and I will probably stay near Ypres, we'll go over on the overnight ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge spend the day in Belgium and see the Menin Gate ceremony.

That sounds like a good idea Sam. I have always wanted to see the ceremony but never made it yet. So maybe we will join you at your hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 We (team 57) will probably stay just across the border in Belgium, better beer and people we can understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Hunt Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I Booked Sue and I in the Premiere Classe, Lille Ouest-Lomme for the night of Tuesday 5th September some time ago. It's only 5 minutes from the A25 so should allow a bit of a lie in before the start. If anybody else fancies it then it would be good to have some company.
