yep, that's the one... been in touch with No limits. Looks great.
Flights wise, I've booked myself and Louise on the late morning, 1030 I think it is easy jet, Bristol to Faro on the Thurs, then return Sunday evening.
No guarantees just yet but depending on vehicles, I will look into car parking at Bristol, as the company I work for have our helicopters based there, should be able to wangle at least one space for the weekend.
Or look at prices for Airport taxi's to Bristol from say, Teignmouth or Exeter as a central point, which ever works better for most...
Just ideas as very excited about this

I've got one spare car parking space in Bristol city centre if you want it Red5. It's about a 15 minute walk then to the airport shuttle bus which I'll be taking.

Find out on Wed if I'll be signed off as fully fit... then they'll let me have insurance for this. Better be ok, or it's going to be an expensive non event

Hi eveyone, I'm booked on this one now and as i've been before i can honestly say the hotel is the best that No Limits use on all of their trips.
you will have to walk at least 50 yards to get onto the beach though.
for those of you that can afford the time,it's a trip where it's worth while having an extra day out there.
oh yes, and i think there is a track nearby as well !!

So, looking at flights.... Bloody prices have shot through the roof!!! #grrr
Anywho, what flights are peeps booked on? taxi/minibus to aeroporto or making ya own way??
Edit:
Flights booked!
I currently run a Sport Touring trye on the Ninja mainly due to doing a fair amount of upright miles.
If I fit some new tryes for the portimao wkend will it be worth going for a more 'focused' tyre??
Say BT16's or their equivalent or even a bit more...say S20's since there doesn't seem to be much difference in prince-ish!
