France - 10th Aug (sunday) - Postponed

This is just a gauge to see who might be interested. Subject to me getting my dog looked after for the day, I may try n head off to France for a few hours. Thinking about the coastal road to Le Touquet and then St Omer… or vice versa.

Train is £17 there and Ferry is £17 back. I would take the train back too, but there are no slots.

This is just a maybe….

 

Hi. Just had a look at 'Myferrylink' ................ the price Sunday 10th Aug, Biker 2 peeps, going 08.00, return 17.50.
£22.00 return price.

 

yeah i was thinking train there…as didn't want to wake up at silly o'clock to take ferry, as ferry take 90 minutes…but don't mind it back since we gain an hour.

I'm was thinking 10am ish UK time del, n returning about 1800hrs calais time

 

I would be interested but can`t do 10th or 17th Aug

 

Ferries are 08.45- getting there 11.15, if you go any later you won't get a whole day ride. Cos you're back on ferry at 17.15, next one is 19.50.

 

dammit.. got a christening to goto that sunday and I don't think the wife will let me get away from it ... otherwise I would be up for that

 

There is an 1800 with dfds, not going to ride all day nonstop. My arse will need a break. I think at the moment it looks like 4.5hrs riding. So depends on down time for lunch n walking about. May go slightly earlier, but will still train it there to save time.

It's about 1.45 to 2hrs from mine to Folkestone, and like I said, don't want to get up at stupid o'clock.

Still looking for a dog sitter...lol

 

Right, decided to postpone this...as its a bit too rushed. Will put up new definite dates shortly, at least got a few interested responses

 

cool keep me posted.. better check me passport is current :/

 

Yep! The problem is the mad August rush has filled the ferries and tunnel with grokels. Give it another 2 weeks and they'll all be back home.
Quiet roads and empty ferries.
