Pig Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm tweaking the Saturday afternoon routes at the moment, and I'm contemplating putting in a double back after the tea time stop so we can go over a second bridge, but then take a different route in to Rouen. Anybody think this is a crazy thing to do just to get in the bridge (it means going over the bridge, once round the roundabout and back over the bridge and then follow a different route). Screen shot attached showing what we would do....is this just wasting time for the sake of a bridge? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=190516&d=1409429004[/ur] Do it! Its always good fun to do different routes. Round about = another opportunity to drive from 20mph to 70mph in a smooth and sedate manner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 TomTom and Garmin route files are done!! Hard work making the TomTom do what I want, I really need to find a better way! If anybody wants to check the Garmin files let me know. I wont release the files until the week before we go so that if I have to make changes then the wrong files wont be out there anywhere. If anybody needs them before that let me know, but dont be surprised if the routes change between now and the actual release date. I have left the double back route in there to get us over the second bridge and back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Can I have the TomTom files please John? I've recently bought a TomTom and want to practice putting them in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I hope your TomTom can take the files...not all the TomTom units can!! When you go to the menus do you have Itinerary Planning as an option? I will email them across, let me know which email address to send them to.

Burna Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Oh don't say that Branners! It's a TomTom Start 60. I'll have a look if it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Not looking good for the TomTom Start 60....if it uses MyTomTom as the base software rather than TomTom Home then it wont do them. Nobody can explain why they took the feature out of the newer units, but they have. You want a TomTom XXL with IQ Routes... http://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3604/~/how-do-i-create-a-route-with-several-stops%3F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Budz86 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 If anyone wants a tunnel ticket, you can have mine and just pay for your room. Unfortunately the car won't be making it this time, been pushing my luck the past couple of times tbh! Managed to get a knocking noise from the engine and there is just no time to get it sorted and tested before we go. On the upside, Steve has agreed to let me drive his for the weekend with him as a passenger! Top Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Routes have now been posted in the members section. Train details should be with you by Monday. Trying to work out if we can all get on the later train...problem is they have 2 cars booked on an earlier train so somebody is in for an earlier start.

Branners Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Leaving Ashford at about 6.50am, for a 7.20am arrival at Eurotunnel, for a 7.50am departure. I will post up the full timings later once I have them worked out. And yes, we are in what they call High Side, which is the coach lanes.
