We'll be coming over on the Ferry (breakfast and a pint) earlyish on the saturday morning and enjoying a leisurely
drive across country to Arras.

We're booked at the Hotel Ibis Arras Centre Les Places.
Found it difficult getting rooms with two single beds (my copilot and I are not that good friends).

We're also booked at the Hotel Ibis Arras Centre Les Places.

We've got a double room as I'm going to sleep with my co-pilot that night !!!!! smile

We're on the 1320 shuttle out on the Saturday and back on Sunday shuttle 1936.

That crossing and hotel sound bang on.

Is anyone staying Sunday night? I'm considering it to get on the outside of some ales.

Excellent news re: chunnel and hotel bookings, this is definitely going to be a brilliant weekend.

Sadly we have to come back on the Sunday evening - Lady S is a Chartered Accountant and anytime off around financial year end/start is a no-no !!!!

Having had my entry turned down (too new... gutted), I would like to put my name forward as a nav, in case anyone is struggling to find one. Happy to contribute to costs.

I am based near Dartford, have a fair bit of experience of both navigating and France, and am also a French speaker.

Im pre-registered and booked in terms of hotel (ibis, arras) and tunnel. But I'm awaiting the registration email from Bruno. Currently in Thailand and unable to receive emailed attachments, either way, Bruno YHM.

I'll update this with my car number on my return.

I will be in this.

We're Entry No. 1 !

As we get valve bounce at about 50mph downhill in top we may be overtaken by about 150 cars.
