NL18 - Mission Aborted

Sadly due to illness we have had to abort the mission.

I have cancelled the Groningen hotel and as it was after the free cancellation end date we might have to forfeit the €111 cost of the room.

I have sent a "special request" to them through booking.com to explain why we had to cancel in the vain hope they will do something. 

It's not as though they won't be able to let the room as rooms really are sought after for MotoGP weekend.

Luckily Eurotunnel have rebooked my shuttle ticket for another date in the future and I can still use that again.

I advertised the Assen e-tickets via Twitter and have had no interest. So we will definitely be stuck with the loss.

It's a shame but Neill's health is far more important than money.


Update 4th July 2018

It was only in the early hours of this morning that I got a reply to my request to waive the cost of the room. I had emailed booking.com customer services to see what what has happening as it was (at the time) about 2300 on the 3rd.

I am grateful to booking.com and the hotel for waiving the cost of the room.  Sadly we are down the cost of the tickets.  But as I put above, Neill's health is more important.  

In the end he was let out of hospital on Saturday afternoon.  Not fit enough to go.

My brother for instance.  He regularly plans trips with a mate that take three or four weeks in the summer before the school holidays make hotels and accommodation too expensive. I can't do that. So when "real life" gets in the way, then the bike trips have to take a back seat.  Don't get me wrong.  I like going out in the car with wife and dog to places of interest or just to the White Cliffs for a cake and coffee and walk with Reggie. But. Sometimes I want to get my gear on and go for a ride. Last Sunday the "Family Paul" won out.  Hopefully tomorrow, June 6th and of course the 77th Anniversary D-Day, I can get out and do the trip around the county and get the "Cup of Tea Challenge" chalked off. I need to ride the £15000 wo
