Again though using every bit in ingenuity to make the trip.

Hats off to HL and mates who are setting off from Sheffield on the megabus to London sometime just after midnight Friday then onwards by train to Bournemouth and flying in to Carcassonne.

ESO and ESO senior are going via Bournemouth too.

Me and Mrs Airborne are going via East Midlands as I believe Martin and Neil are.

any other old shirts knocking around I can signed by the lads ?

well, we are about five hours north in Limoges and it's about 31°C today so it should be sizzling at Carcassonne today !

the temperatures will drop a bit next wek so we should be looking at about mid 20s next weekend

check out the french weather by googling 'meteo' then choose a site say 'meteo france' or 'la chaine meteo' and follow the weather forecasts

forecast = prévision
outlook = tendances

good time to play though 1900 hrs, just when it's cooling down

not on the telly as far as i'm aware but probably worked out so that the game doesn't clash with the Stade Toulouse v Castres or Montpellier Semi Final in RU (which is on telly) which is scheduled for the same evening

some fans of both codes will go to both games
