Start by asking yourself some question

Would you wear a crash helmet on a bike in town...after all you are only doing a max of 30mph?

Am I a fashion freak or do I value my safety? You would probably spend over £300 to keep warm so is £80 too much to keep safe?

If I go for a helmet does it mean I should also consider body armour?

Am I macho or sensible?

etc etc...

Me I wear one, some of my friends don't...so far we are all still here. I just remember that it B***** hurt when I banged my head after falling on a blue doing no more than 20 mph and ended up with a huge bump and an crashing headache for 3 days. Perhaps I was unlucky but I wear one now.

Cool piccy 4x4

45 and an all night party 'til Sauze D'oulx :P

Problem solved! SNCF have advised me the schedule is being released "in November". Did think of extending my stay for a week and ski to Montgenevre and taxi to Serre.....now just have to persuade OH...Emmm :(

Tony_H's big secret...Serre Chevalier. 250kms of piste, 70% in trees, it really is fabulous especially at that time of the year. AND for France not to expensive. Shhhhh...don't tell anyone )

Does anyone know when the new schedule for TGV's to Oulx is being released. I/We are off to Sauze on 17th Dec and decided to "DIY" there going Bristol to Paris by Easyjet and then (using the then issued schedules of RailEurope (daily trains to Oulx!!!!)TGV with a bit of a party en-route. Seemed like a good idea at the time so booked the flights early 'cause its cheaper only to find out mid Oct that the Frogs have changed the train schedule for the first time in ages but have yet to tell anyone what it is. Interestingly can get to Briancon though but then have to get a transfer.

So at Le Moment looks like a ski party for 6 days in some hotel in Paris. HELP!!! :cry:

I suppose that if there are less "confirmed" rooms with the TO's it will mean that there may be more "free" rooms if you approach the hotels direct. Whilst I (sort of)agree with the statement that hoteliers are inflexible with their prices they sometimes need reminding that an empty room is a room that is not earning money!! 8)

I think you are all taking the piss :-)
