Faye Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Are you going topless or covered up? Covered up, Sam (Keiths car) is much better for longer journeys, even with the bung mine would be hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Covered up, Sam (Keiths car) is much better for longer journeys, even with the bung mine would be hard work. Thats my one worry too. My car is not the quietest thing for long journeys - very "droney" in fact. But hey, thats a small price to pay for a good craic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 1. Faye and Keith C 2. CJ and Joshy 3. John and Vix 4. Tezzpip 5. Whitelightning (in TAZ) I think we will now have to start putting some definite times and locations down for the travel plans. I have spoken to John K and Faye and the concensus of opinion seems to be thus: Thursday AM - travel by train through tunnel to Calais Thursday PM - drive to Munster (Germany) Stay overnight at Ibis Friday AM - Drive to Soenderberf (Denmark) Camp on site Saturday - Denmark Sunday PM - Drive to Munster - Stay overnight at Ibis Monday AM - Drive to Calais Monday PM - Train back to Blighty How does that sound to everyone? If it seems OK, what about getting more ideas for leaving times on the Thursday and returning times for the Monday? Comments please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, what route are you taking through Germany? Passing through Venlo on the A67/A40? If so, that's an even better place for us to hook up, much closer to me. Also, which Ibis are you making reservations at? Anybody got a phone number? Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Im happy with this, but am aware that we need to take Thu, Fri and Mon off. I will have to check with my masters that this is acceptable as it was originally a 3 day event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Sounds great CJ, I would prefer a very late morning, early afternoon departure on the tunnel. Returning I would suggest around the same time poss a little later, at the French end. I would suggest we all meet up prior to the tunnel to share out tickets (if we book thru 1 person) and to refuel so once on the other side we dont have to stop for a while. I suggest we meet somewhere like Matt H's (sextons) as its close to the tunnel. CJ are you willing to be the organiser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite happy to organise train tickets and hotels etc. I need to get more of a feel for peoples preferences for start travel times there and back.

JohnK Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 That great mate, keep us posted and let us know when you want the £££. Did you all get the mail from the meet organisers today? payment for the meet by 1st June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Start times I'm pretty easy on, living where we do an early start isn't too bad for us. A late start means that lazybones (Keith) gets a to sleep more which'll make him happy Getting back isn't a problem either - Keith and I are off on the Tuesday anyway.

JohnK Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Getting on the train with a full tank of fuel (or near as) is fairly important as it means will only have to stop the once on the way to the hotel. Unless of course we want to stop more often! BTW, who has any of those 2 way radios? I hope between us we have enough for us each to have one.
