La Rochelle sounds good. Would need VFR weather from Zurich. Will monitor the situation.

Switzerland

I looked briefly at forecast, it looks like nice stable high pressure weather over Brittany from Friday to Tuesday

La Rochelle has regular bus from airport every 20-30min or bikes from self-service or rental

Isn’t LR going to be busy as hell on an Easter weekend?

It’s not summer yet (we visited last year in April and it was ok) and plenty of hotels to book this weekend

I tend to avoid in July/Aug, you can’t book a car or hotel

Yeah – booking.com is showing a fair few.

Anyone else going?

Is this correct?

Almost too late now… for Fri-Sat which is all I can do.

These people just love erecting barriers as high as they can, just to see who is stupid enough or desperate enough to climb over them It’s some sort of game.

I’ve done the PN anyway.

Don‘t worry Peter. Just send the PN now and they will accept. In France things are never that bad, as it looks like when reading the rules.

EDDS , Germany

I dropped it

French police never reply with an “acceptance”, IME.

Doing EGJA instead, tomorrow.

It was great to catch up with @HBadger at La Rochelle, even for a short period (I had a hectic morning), I saw an aircraft with impressive rate of climb from the car park, I know that was him when he departed

Weather did not disappoint!
