Just reading threads on meet/rides out by folk in countries "down under" so I thought I would look on the members map to see how many and where other members in France were.

Couldn't be more split up with 3 - 1 in the absolute north, me in the middle and 1 in absolute south!

But, and the reason for this thread, some members live in the sea! I always thought the damp would impare the enjoyment but no, Atlantic, Southern Atlantic, our members seem happy enough in the wet stuff, so, as the thread says, is that really where you live?   :popcorn:
If you are going to run out of fuel, do it in your garage.

It's only a short walk to the kettle.

I suspect that members are only putting in an approximation of were they live otherwise it's an easy invitation to thieving scum.  If you look at my location it's on Clevedon pier but I don't live there but it's close enough to get a general idea.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

Makes perfect sense - I took a similar approach.   But several hundred/thousand miles offshore?  Not so helpful if you are looking for compatriots 'local' to you.

I live behind the moon. Couldn't find the proper spot on the member map, so just picked a random spot. Glad I didn't end up in the ocean :coffeescreen:

I knew there was something 'odd' about you!  :happy1:

Perhaps a place in the hall of fame for whoever is furthest from home?   :stir:

On the satnav my home address is the local police station.

That got me thinking... at some point... even the furthest one away will be heading home :whistling:

My location on map is a few miles wrong, just for those "thieving scum" who mjgt mentioned.

Yes I really live in a falling down old castle  :stir:

I think in the area where you live is good enough I wouldn't put my/your actual address.
