Ferry crossing dates and times for hook-ups... 

Posted By : Ben Hutchings, 06-May-2006, 10:23pm

Hi, I thought I'd start a thread so we can all post our LMC travelling times and dates. This way if anyones looking to join up with some other Triumphs, they can look down the list and see who to contact by PM. Of course if you DON'T want to be followed/joined/slowed down then I suggest you keep your details private
It'd be really good if we could keep this list simple and on topic. You know how these things go off on wild tangents most of the time. So please just names, car (so people can recognise you) and crossing time / date.

Here's us:

Ben and Nikki Hutchings, in a wedgewood blue GT6.
Accompanied by my cousin James and his wife, Nicky in their BRIGHT orange Porsche 914.

Outbound: Thurs 6th July, 10:40am - Dover to Boulogne with 'speed ferries'.
Return: Mon 10th July, 1:25pm - Boulogne to Dover with 'speed ferries'.

Next!

                    that'll give us 10 mins for brekkie (4am + 6hrs = 10am, speedferries request there 30mins before departure of 10.40)..... early night called for and 3.30am start perhaps...
                    
                    or pop down and stay at BBC night before?

                      Thanks for finding that out, Vin!
                      I rang them this evo to find out what the H*ll was happening.
                      Guy swore that they sent out emails in JANUARY!
                      But then said that they are sending them out again - presumabaly as they were not sent last time.
                      So why didn'y I get one either time? No answer.
                      
                      Sigh!
                      
                      Discuss itinerary this weekend?
                      John
                      
                      PS Remember, everyone else?
                      The Aces are at it again 'this weekend' - Scrapheap Challenge Roadshow, Beaulieu, Sunday 11th)

                            SpeedFerries warning, if you booked your tickets early your ferry times will have changed. Typically 35-45 mins earlier. Check with speed ferries. If you booked recently they will have given you the new times. They said they mailed early bookers with the changes, I got mine, others didn't - be afraid, be very afraid (ok, just be weary....)
