On the Road Again!

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 ...

The plan for this year's SOC (and others!) Spring Day trip is to visit the V3 "Revenge Weapon" site at Mimoyecques near Calais. The date is April 22nd 2012 . My plan is to go as early as humanly possible to get t the V3 site before lunch.  This might be the 0825 P&O crossing or even earlier at 0735, depending on where everyione is coming from.  It also depends on the cost (at the time of writing P&O not accepting day ticket sales), the Shuttle maybe better for timing and cost.  The Shuttle is much quicker. The ride is all off motorway and is in all about 55 miles.  The plan was to attract those that may have little or no experience of riding abroad and who also may have a smaller capacity motorcycle.

I am in the middle of planning a trip across to France to visit the V3 "Revenge Weapon" site at Mimoyecques.   I originally emailed in the Autumn and the reply was that they would be open in early April.  I took this to be more like the 1st rather than the 16th.... So planned this trip for the 15th.... I think you can see the problem? We are now going to have to change the date to the 22nd!!!! More details to follow. http://www.mimoyecques.com/
