On the Road Again!

Planning has started and then almost instantly stopped again for this event. After the trauma of the last trip across, amost a year earlier than the next one, and the incident that saw Steve B taken to Calais hospital, I thought it was time to get out and do the other half of that days trip. We've chosen the day as it is right at the end of the Easter holidays and there should be a decent (I mean cheap!) fare on the ferry across to France. Hopefully Cal will be able to get it as cheap as possible. As the Kent Centre has a Facebook page, I have created the event on there for members to see and comment - Kent Centre FB The map shows a rough outline of the trip. It's about 65 miles in all but Tyre planned it to run on the A26 there and back. To make the trip open to all riders, no matter what size of bike, in reality it will be an off motorway triop using the N43 and not the toll motorway. The plan is to get over early and visit the big bunker at Eperlecques before heading...

There was suggestion that some people wanted to go on the Shuttle as the price was very similar to the Ferry. Since then, P&O have dropped the ferry fare back to £16! We have two separate groups, Boaters and Shuttlers,  going over who will meet up in Calais. You need to book the crossing for yourself. Times below. The idea is that the Boaters will gorge themselves on a P&O breakfast and the Shuttlers will be far more refined and eat in France (if we haven't pogged out in the Shuttle terminal!) So, it looks as though lunch at lunch time might nor really be needed, hence this change. The plan: Shuttle, meet @ 0815 in Terminal Building for 0850 or P&O Ferry, meet at entrance to Dover Eastern Docks @  0740 for 0825 boat. Both groups meet at Place des Armes in Calais at around 1115 local. Off motorway ride to Eperlecques Blockhaus (Refreshments available on site) Ride cross country to Mimoyecques V3 site. Run to Wimereux and back ...
