Do you have to book or is it just a "show up"rally. I found your other reports on adv and ktm forum but unfortunately none of your pics are showing.
Cheers Pete
Hi Pete,
There isn't much info' on the net about this rally, it also seems to be a very French affair but saying that, I was made to feel very welcome.
At the time I was a regular on ADVRider and a guy posted about it, I thought to myself, "why not" and 2 days later I was on the ferry. You don't have to book, you just turn up and pay your rally fee (for camping) and you also need to book a place for the evening meal in the hotel at the top of the hill. In a very French way it's very relaxed and a very fun weekend.
I went on my KTM 640 Adv, with nothing more than TKC's on it.
The only problem I had was getting out of the Alps on the Sunday afternoon after all the snow the night before, but when the roads were open, they were safe to ride on.
Hope that helps?
Cheers
Mark
