Leaving on the morning of Friday 3rd July and returning the evening of Monday 6th July

As you'll no doubt be aware, there are a few different ways to cross the channel. A few different ferry companies with different ports and the train of course.

I'm going to book a ferry, going from Dover to Dunkirk on Norfolkline.

http://www.norfolkline.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'll be booking the 8am out on the 3rd and the 18.01 back on the 6th. This comes to about £53 all in which isn't too bad. A nice relaxed sailing with time for a good breakfast :D

We'll then meet up with anyone else that comes via other methods somewhere to be determined (probably on the A10/E40) for a convoy through France, Belgium and Germany to the ring.

If anyone wants to stop at our place near Cambridge on the Thursday night to save a longer drive to Dover first thing Friday morning (it's about 2 1/2 hours from ours) then you're more than welcome. We'll have 2 spare double beds, a single, 2 sofas, loads of floorspace and a garden for camping if you want. Just let us know.

Post up in this thread if you intend to / have booked a ferry / train with times so we can get an idea of who will be where and where to meet up.

(This thread isn't intended to make you travel a certain route etc, but gives information on how it can be done to help. For example, a ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge could be a better option for people in the north of England or Scotland)

Ann is down in Essex so coming back up to mine on the thursday night before passing Essex again friday morning?? Fine with me though ;)
 
Think I'll be going the same route as the majority - safety in numbers and all that :D

Will let you know when I've booked it :eek:k:
 
I'll look at booking the same dover/dunkirk route I think. would it be possible to book a night at l'hotel de dal et cherie for a night on the thursday for going down to dover? :)

edit: just going to check with them what the situation would be if I book a car ticket and then want to go on the bike instead as I would like to have a blast in europe on two wheels if possible this year :)

Would I be able to partake of your excellent housing arrangements please Dal? :D
 
Course you can Jamie :D

I'll add you to the list at the start.
 
party @ Dal'ss woooo hoooo!!!!
hehe just kidding... I will behave! :D
 
Who says I'll behave?

:derr:
 
Has everyone that's planning on taking the Dover - Dunkirk ferry booked it yet?

I don't want to leave it too late then not get on it. But then I don't want to book it, then someone expresses interest in keeping my passenger seat warm.
 
DON'T BOOK RINGHAUS ROOMS YET!

I'm sending our room needs to Frank at the Ringhaus next sunday and he;ll do us a special deal.

See the Accommodation thread!!!
 
Yeah Col, saw Dal was booking them in a block booking thing-me-bob at the top of the accommodation thread so I put our names down and left it at that!

I've learnt to always trust Dal to sort these things out :-D

Not booked yet - might next week though. Still trying to decide how many cars we're taking :oops:

Rest assured, we will book those ferries though.
