hello, just a quickie for anyone who wants a lift to
st chartier. i am hoping to leave about 11th july and
have space in my truck. the whole journey (ferry and
diesel) should cost about £80 return or £50 one-way
per passenger max. according to how many people come.
if you are interested please let me know asap when you
are ready to go and when you would like to be back. i
am open to adjusting times and dates. i am also
considering staying in france for a while after, so
please let me know what you think about that... happy
solstice! jud xx
