Looking like mid 20's when we're there which is what it is here now, will feel hotter over there though!

believe it or not ESO it can get nippy in that area with quite often a strongish wind blowing along that valley - don't be surprised if the sun is warm but the edge is taken off the heat with the breeze

equally Carcasonne is a bit special as it's in a bit of a bowl and can build up a dusty very dry heat which can be unpleasant in mid summer - so the advice is...

drink plenty of liquids !!!

So it might be a bit cold but it might be red hot, best cover all bases then!

I just hope celebrity fans Jedward, Alan Carr and Prince Harry don't find it too hot.

Not megaloads but more than managed Perpignan.

Again though using every bit in ingenuity to make the trip.

Hats off to HL and mates who are setting off from Sheffield on the megabus to London sometime just after midnight Friday then onwards by train to Bournemouth and flying in to Carcassonne.

ESO and ESO senior are going via Bournemouth too.

Me and Mrs Airborne are going via East Midlands as I believe Martin and Neil are.

Yes that's right. Are you driving to the airport Airborne. Me and Neil have just discovered that East Midlands Parkway station is nowhere near the airport and we'd need to book a taxi, which, given that we'd have to set off on the 22-37 is not filling us with enthusiasm. Any chance of a lift down? Don't want to be stranded in the middle of nowhere at that time. Lol.

no ASC !

anyway, that means I can watch the Toulouse game at 1600, shoot down the motorway for the ASC game after !

Hi Sanjunien. Martyb here. Any chance you could take me and my mate Neil back to Carcassonne with you if we can get to Toulouse by train on the Saturday morning? And would we have to book tickets for the train in advance to do that? Never done 2 games in a day in FRANCE before!!

I think I can manage it but it will be tight so may have to leave at HT and ask a mate to do the second half for me - i'll 'pm' you - just waitning bto hear from the paper if they want me to do the two reports

you shouldn't need to book the train on a saturday from Carcassonne to Toulouse

what you may find interesting Marty and all you other Eagles fans is that Chez Felix, the official RL bar in Carcassonne will have the Leigh & Fev games live in the bar so you could see some other games without the hassle and expense of going to Toulouse - I may even do that !

Will it have Premier Sports then?! Or is it being broadcast on French television too?
