Abz Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I will send you the credit card bill Abz:innocent: Sure no problem Rog, I'll send you my wife's one in return Just spoke to her (she is away at the moment) and she is thinking of coming on this trip as I mentioned a few ladies will be going along. If she does come, we will just pretend that the shopping centre is closed due to err wasp invasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Below is the current Itinerary, is everyone happy with that? Friday: Drive to Eurotunnel. 07:50 crossing. Leave Eurotunnel in Calais, meet with French owners, drive to Lille (90 min drive), book in to hotel. Drive to Boulogne-sur-Mer. Back to Lille. Lille to Kortijk (a quaint village by the old WWI battle fields). Kortrijk back to Calais. Roughly 310 miles. Toll costs may apply! Link Friday night stay at hotel. Eating, drinking, merriment! Satuday: Brekker! Drive. Piccies! Chat! Drive! Saturday night stay at hotel. Eating, drinking, merriment! Sunday: Brekker! Drive. Piccies! Chat! Drive! Drive back to Eurotunnel 15:20 train (local time) Back to UK Home I just spoke to Chris and he advised we could get off at Calais & then go to beach in Dunkirk to spend the morning, we can then confirm what we will do for the next 2 days. I'll bring a few options and then we could sit in the sun (touches wood) and decide what everyone wants to do. Either way I would like to make a decision by Wednesday so then I can print out some leaflets to hand out on Friday morning. Just so you people know, this trip is going to be epic!

And are there any mini convoys planned on the way down (I'm coming from Lincoln - no idea what route yet!) You could meet up with Ian Ian and I somewhere on the M1. We may go M6 - A50 - M1 H.

I'm slightly confused now (thats not hard though) are we doing all that on the first day? I thought those venues were being spread across the three days, wifey won't be keen on doing all that on the first day, neither would I actually, (old man sindrome) I would have to sleep through Sat/Sun to recover. Thanks for the advice on the petrol Tracey I will need to fill up before we leave for France and the one at junction 11 sounds good, my wife Tricia is just going to love having around 5 hours sleep before we leave.

My thoughts too Bob, I can't remember who arranged this but I'll try putting something more relaxing together. Then after we all gather at our first stop we can discuss our options. Most likely put 2 plans together and we can vote what to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I was a bit confused too, 310 miles in one day plus the miles to the hotel in the morning in Ashford? This can't be right, these visits must be spread over the 3 days. We'd all be too tired to socialise Friday night if we did 310 miles on the first day after getting up so early!! That would be some serious fuel too, with more fuel needed for Saturday and Sunday too if it is right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJP Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That'll me TJP then but I wouldn't advise it after what happen on our last run:whistle: It was dark and I had beans chewing my ears off Haha Well you best be ready when I get to yours LOL All depends what time you are thinking of arriving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJP Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Okay what bright spark picked the Hotel in France According to the reviews on TripAdvisor it's right next to a huge Shopping centre and I am taking the wife I am considering ringing the Bodyshop on Tuesday and asking them to make sure it's not ready in time;), I have a huge bodyshop bill without the wife bending the plastic in France Yipee, still in need of a few bits for the following weekends trip to ayia napa, good planning Abz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 It was dark and I had beans chewing my ears off All depends what time you are thinking of arriving I said to Shane yesterday that you'll permanently have your foot planted to the floor, air con on with the windows open and not giving a sh!t about fuel consumption as you've him paying some of the fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the 310 mile trip around France on the first day wrong? Shame you won't be in a Supra, but MR2s do look cool so that's good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I still dont have a supra at the moment:( I am really getting worried about it being ready in time now, it's really going to be a last minute dash for us I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can strip, sand down, primer & paint within 4 days so tell him to get a move on & give priority to your car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
