HU 2017 France
Un grand bravo à toute l’organisation pour ce weekend réussi, j’ai beaucoup apprécié les présentation des divers intervenants et la richesse des informations reçues.
Seule ombre au tableau, l’impression que nous nous sommes fait « arnaqués » tout au long du weekend par les prestations du camping des Hirondelles.
Emplacements pour tentes plein de cailloux, 2 à 3 tentes par emplacements (soit un même emplacement facturé plusieurs fois…), un tarif de restauration qui ne correspond pas à un buffet avec crudités et viande froide (sauf cuisse de canard le samedi soir), pas de boisson. Un minuscule sandwich pour le dimanche midi sans bouteille d’eau, fruit…
Bref, malgré un accueil de façade plutôt sympathique, un niveau de prestation et d’honnêteté des tarifs qui ne correspond à ce que l’on pouvait attendre.
Bonne continuation !
JJ

Well im back in Portugal now. I had a fantastic week leading up to the France meeting doing the Trans Pyrenees trails for 6 days with great company and then the Hub weekend was the cherry on top.
Like last year, great people, great stories and fantastic organisation. Well done to everyone for making it another top class meeting.

Bonnes rencontres, bonne ambiance. Comme toujours avec HU, ce sont les rencontres qui sont le coeur...
Mais taulier cher et mesquin. Il ne devrait pas s'acharner dans ce métier...

Great event.
Well done John and your band of helpers for putting on a fantastic HU France event.
The campsite owners help make the event such a pleasure.
The presentations were very varied and a huge thanks to Pierre for his exceptional translations.
Meeting Ted Simon was truly inspirational.
i look forward to meeting up with a lot of great people in 2017.

Mooie dagen, beautiful days
It was our first Hu event, apart from a small one a few years back in Chiang Mai and I must say 100% organisation. We enjoyed it very much, both the event and the camp hosts. We do'nt know(never know) were we are in the future, but if we can we will be present
Menno and Tine Stammes, this time with our Landrover

So..... what did we do when we weren't listening to all the presentations ?:-
We party'd with Tourtech
We tried the latest wet weather gear from the far east. Note the clear plastic front for the headlight
Ted & Peter Bettembourg discuss translations
Carole Sabarly and Laurent Dozias relaxing after all that motorcylce lifting
After a splendid barbq of duck leg with all the trimmings, Fellow Traveller and young Vigneron ( wine grower) François Hublot (standing), gave us a tasting of his own sparkling vintage- excellent
