With the main focus of the trip being the commemorations on Friday 1st July, the day to get down there, Thursday, has become a day for different groups to make their own way to Amiens. The meeting place being the Hotel Central & Anzac in the afternoon.
I have planned a substantially off-motorway run down there from Coquelles to Amiens for the group to be known as “Shuttle One” that will include a lunch break. “Shuttle One” will be crossing over a little later than usual as Claire and I have to get Reggie the dog to the kennels near Wye for his weekend break. So I booked the 1120 out from UK. We have been joined on this team by Ken Fulton and David Robinson. This poses a problem for lunch! Our arrival time will be about 1300 French time. So I have been looking for a lunch spot.
A popular "routier" for us is near Abbeville but it will be far too late by the time we get off the train and ride there. I have however found another in Boulogne. More to follow on that subject later.
The other groups are “Ferry One” led by Calvert Price and “Who Knows?” for the remainder that haven’t said what their plans are.
