I ordered a couple yesterday and about half a dozen a month ago for testing...
Just spoken with Dave and getting feedback regarding accommodation ~ the way it looks, is the fact that it's going to be quiet on the campsite...
So to summarize -
Hotel:
• Lee
• Joe
• Thanassis
• Andrzej & Alice
(possiblies...)
• Bodger
• Pewel & Lady
• Agata + 1
• Yuergen & Lady
• Marta
• Shaun
(possiblies if they can make it's...)
• Johann + Lady
Camping:
• Andy
• Shaun
For your information - Hotel Cervol - Booking.com
There is 'private' parking ~ but I think we will know better once we are there!
For your information ~ there are rooms available, AND I have also made the experience that SHOULD there be no rooms left through 'booking.com' ~ you can always call up and reserve via the telephone!
The hotel has nearly 100 rooms!!!
Im not +1 ...at least not on this rally

Just for your information - the people over at Spreadshirts are giving me a hard time ~ they claim that the wording 'Bonneville America' is the name of a bike and could be copyright.... WTF!?!? Just bare with me a day or two while I kick their asses!

I am going to go with camping at the rally.
Do we have to book ourselves ( like the hotel) or have you arranged something with the campsite?

No worries about the patch. I believe I ordered enough! Too many actually ~ 24... But as they say ~ it's better to be on the safe side! So, just to re-cap: Hotelling it:• Lee • Joe • Thanassis • Bodger • Andrzej & Alice • Pewel +1 • Yuergen +1 (possiblies if they can make it's...) • Johann + Lady Camping it:• Andy • Nick • Shaun • Agata + Guest?!? • Marta Betting both ways:• Dave :-) 7 pitches have been reserved on the camping site ~ so I'm sure that will be enough! If not, you'll have to go up into the mountains! Actually the lady at the camp site said: Quote:
We don't make reservations! We always have places!
You don't need to reserve ~ especially that weekend.
Anyway, she was so kind and DID reserve 7 pitches ~ as i explained that we'll be coming from all over the place and we need to guarantee a place!
So this is what they had to say:
Quote:
Sr. Lee FIELDING
Después de la conversa telefónica le confirmo la reserva del 27 de julio hasta el 29 de julio 2012 para 7 tiendas, 7 personas y 7 motos.
Al ser un grupo le hacemos un precio especial. El precio por persona, tienda y moto será de 14 euros por día.
El precio total de las dos noches será de 196 euros.
Quedamos a su disposición por cualquier duda.
Muy atentamente
La Dirección del Camping Valira
Which comes out of google translate as:
Mr. Lee Fielding
After the telephone conversation I confirm the reservation from 27 July to 29 July 2012 to 7 stores, 7 people and 7 motorcycles.
As a group we make a special price. The price per person, bike shop and will be 14 euros per day.
The total price for the two nights will be 196 euros.
We are available for any questions.
Sincerely
The address Camping Valira
So all I need to do now is sort out the bloody trophy bases!!!
I think I'll send the trophies via DHL - Heavy Goods ! ! !
I feel sorry for the poor bugger who has to drag them back!
SO...
1) Those who have not yet booked the hotel - DO IT!
2) Those camping - the camp site is reserved ~ under MY NAME!
3) The patches are in the post (hope to have them tonight ~if so photo's to follow)
4) The trophies are MASSIVE and not yet complete. (it's stressing me!)
5) The Ride out on Saturday ~ may well be Shaun's roller-coaster ride!?!?

Yeah Nick - You are correct - I will tell them nearer the time that we'll be departing as from Monday the 30th.
No worries ~ I thought that the chance that the site fills on Sunday evening would be mighty slim. That's why I'm waiting until my Spanish work-college comes back to correct the dates.
;-)
Maybe some people want to stay...

Looks like Im totally mixed up at the moment... Names, dates and file formats!
Actually the file has 3 routes - but I'll convert them to tracks and put a new link up.

OK - try this... This is a new GPX export that includes the routes that have been converted to tracks (for the older generation devices that can't handle point-routing):  I've tried to do the routes in GOOGLEMaps... But I'm not too sure how to place them into an iFrame in here!? Anyway - here's the link to the map. And here's my attempt to place the map into this forum: <iframe width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="https://maps.google.ch/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=213634546918211483218.0004c291b2ad85fb3b7b1&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=42.536892,1.582718&spn=0.242856,0.439453&z=11&output=embed"></iframe> Well that didn't work.... *mumbling to myself* Stupid forum.....OK - so for those with GOOGLE Earth, try this: (I haven't tried it myself ~ so don't complain if nowt happens!!!) If you don't know what a KML file is, read this!

Yeah ~ I believe he was asking earlier (posted on the 2nd page) if anybody was doing that, but I think nobody replied to it.
He'll be joining and camping from what I know.
Maybe you can add a word or two yourself Ironhorsephoto (what a mouthfull...)

Hi Colin - as you asked earlier, I'll be riding over to Andorra in 2 days stopping somewhere around Serres (Hotel Fifi is what I'm aiming for the over-nighter actually).
So if you can get down to my place before we (Joe & myself) set off (Thursday 26th), you're more than welcome to join us. I think we may have a spare bed for you to sleep on ~ otherwise it's the floor with the cat, or a local hotel... Can say more nearer the time! Fact is my parents will be over at this time also ~ so it'll be a mad house, that's for sure!
