Hello from Drôme where, today it is raining!
Never mind, a good time to plan future tours especially now that Corsica Ferries have only just released their schedule for 2027...
I managed!
It appears that I needed to subscribe to Lennyworld and create a username and password then once this was accepted (email confirmation) I was in.
Once there I could easily navigate to the forum.
What I had done wrong before is assume that my username and password for bikersclubfrance was all I needed .
Now..have to find my way around this application!
