cockney tone Posted 28 August , 2005 Share Posted 28 August , 2005 Pal's. I am trying to take advantage of the cheap Eurotunnel fares and have a short overnighter down on the Somme next week. I want to try to stay at Les Galets because of its proximity to the area that I wish to walk. However I have tried ringing this weekend with 'no reply' on the phone which defaults to a fax machine, a facility I do not have. I also tried their e-mail which keeps bouncing back. Does anybody know if they are open at the moment or are they just trying to avoid me???????????? Regards, Scottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 28 August , 2005 Share Posted 28 August , 2005 I have no idea why you aren't getting any response from Les Galets, but I would suggest trying Avril Williams at Auchonvillers. Only a few minutes walk away from Les Galets. Good luck, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reed Posted 28 August , 2005 Share Posted 28 August , 2005 I know they are open at the moment because some people I know are camping there. I would keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockney tone Posted 28 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 28 August , 2005 Ken, I have already booked Avrils for my September trip and normally like to stay there, but I was hoping for les Galets so I could 'pick' Mr & Mrs Renshawa 'brains' on the area i am going to walk and recce. Hope you are well and not working too hard (I have now been retired since July!!!!) Paul, thanks for confirmation that they are open, I will try ringing again during the day. regards to you both, Scottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockney tone Posted 29 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 29 August , 2005 Still no reply all day sunday and am today (monday) am I ringing the correct number? 00333 22 762879 Scottie. (now slightly panicky of Hertford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paullaw1155 Posted 30 August , 2005 Share Posted 30 August , 2005 When we visited the battlefields last May, We was told that Les Galet was no longer taking bookings. Paul's reply seems to contradict this but if you are not getting a response it may have been correct?? Hope you get sorted Cheers Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Robertson Posted 6 September , 2005 Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Scottie, Please pass on my family's warmest good wishes to Julie on your stay. She will remember us for the sole fact that an Ulsterman threw a glass of red wine over my 2 year old daughter many moons ago. ( Arthur J.......take a bow ) Julie is a gem, enjoy your stay with her.

cockney tone Posted 6 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 6 September , 2005 Derek, I will pass on your regards for you. If there are any Pals in the vicinity of Redan Ridge on friday afternoon or Saturday morning and you see a strange looking geezer in a Panama don't worry it will only be me looking for the site of the 16th Bat HLI in Frankfurt Trench, please don't be afraid to say hello. Regards, Scottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur J Posted 7 September , 2005 Share Posted 7 September , 2005 I would like to point out that I only spilt a little wine, and that was because of an accident. Derek was only annoyed that it went over Catherine, (his daughter) because as a true Scot he could not bear to see wine not being drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockney tone Posted 7 September , 2005 Author Share Posted 7 September , 2005 Arthur & Derek, this thread is starting to have the makings of an old joke? i.e. There was an Ulsterman, Scotsman and an Englishman. I will pass on your regards as well, Scottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Robertson Posted 11 September , 2005 Share Posted 11 September , 2005 she remembers you both and the incident you mention and sends you both her best wishes, <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Scottie, If you knew Arthur, you'd know that Julie would never forget him. (and Catherine has never forgiven him ) I'm pleased that you had an enjoyable stay with Julie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
