Hi Guys
Okay after speaking with Ian, have a look at the below link. Hopefully it works.
As an example, dover to dunkirk ferry crossing is £78 return.
Departure time i selected for this was 11am dep with a return time of 4pm the following weekend, now these are open to suggestions but it gives you an idea.

I agree, the tunnel would of been a better option for me too but the price of the ferry crossing around half of the tunnel it does make sense so I'll go with what everyone else is doing.
Any idea how long the crossing is??? Been around 35 years since I last went on a ferry over to froggy land.

. The options are good for numerous crossing but I suggest booking as close to 11.00hrs (12.00hrs French time) would suit a not too early start from Wales.
I have space in my place the night before for any of those who are way out West

I think the majority are happy to go with the ferry but will wait for the others to also agree or disagree but by the response so far is heading in the right direction.

Hi all
Sounds like we are all good for the ferry. If there is any disagreement, i'll book mine this week.
I intended to do it over the bank holiday but had alittle mishap with the car but it seems all is back on track and it will be sorted in time.

Bought a car travel kit today. £18 less a few pence all in.
Did a full tank to Market Drayton and back in the RA over the weekend. Mixed driving of some hard acceleration to get around trucks and tractors, cruising on/off boost and dual carriageway using the A470, A483, A49, A5 and A53. Using Tesco Momentum/V Power brimmed to the top, managed 465 kms = 288 miles.
Not bad really.

Gents, I've just heard back from Simon (my mate who does the track tuition at the Nurburgring) and he's given me some info that may just throw a spanner in the works about our visit to the ring on our back.
The Ring will be closed on the 12th and 13th of September due to a VLN race and all hotels are fully booked not sure if our dates could be jigged around the race weekend dates at all??
