Hi, As you are proberbly aware getting transport to Calenzana from Bastia Airport on a Sunday is a nightmare and very expensive. We are planning to hire a car from Bastia Airport at 11am and then driving it to Calvi Airport, arriving at approx 2pm. It is then about a 5 mile walk/hitchhike to Calenzana.
Is there anyone/couple out there arriving at that time (Bristol Flight) to do the GR20? If so, and you'd like to share the cost of the hire with us...Approx £30 per person for a four seater car, let me know A.s.a.p....Cheers ...Paul

Hi Mick,

We've got Two spare seats in our Peugeot 206 from Avis. Might be a bit "cosy" with gear, but as its only for about an hour and a half should be fine.

On consideration, I would suggest it would make good sense for the passengers to be dropped of with all the gear direct to Calenzana and then the drivers alone double back to Calvi airport to return the cars, therefore reducing the amount of people trying to get a lift to Calenzana.

Hope that fits in with your plans.... Regards Paul

Hi - we're also looking at transport options for an arrival at Bastia on Sun 6 June @ 10.40 (Easyjet from Manchester). Looking at the comments a one way car Hire from Bastia to Calvi looks like the best way.

However as you seem to have two full cars I'm looking for two additional people who'd be interested to share the cost of this. Is there anyone out there ........

Hi,
My friend and I are arriving by ferry to L'lle Rousse on Sunday 6th June at 8am. We'd be interested in sharing the cost of a hire car if anyone felt inclined to make the short detour to collect us on their way to Calvi or Calenzana. IanKyle - would this suit you? Our only other option is to try for the bus about 2 mins after we arrive, and I don't like our chances.

Regards
Michael

Hi Ian

My wife and I are on the same flight as you and would happily share a car to the trail head. Expecting to walk the whole trail in 12 days to get back for the return flight Sunday 2 weeks. Do you fancy sharing? if so which of us will organise the cara hire?

Hi Ian

I wouldn't usually post my contact details on a forum but time is getting tight. 07980 306869
I've looked at car rental and can get a 4 door corsica for £83 from airport to airport. Taxi from Calvi airport to Calenza should be around £10. Ring if you are interested. If anyone else is interested ring too in case Ian doesn't get in touch. Otherwise, I'll be offering lifts in the airport.
