EuroTour convoy M1 pick up points 05/07 14:45 Calais ferry
Update - just the 3 of us, so I'll go straight to south mimms.
Not long now.1 week to go, and the spares list thread got me thinking ahead a bit now.
I know we're all converging from different areas and on different ferry/eurotunnel crossings so this is specific to Dover / Calais ferry crossing @14:45 on 05/07.
Not sure where the start point will be but I'll be joining the M1 at J13 and suggest we use Toddington services again like last year if that's ok? Can't recall who else we picked up there but it worked well if my memory serves.
After that, I'm assuming on to the M25 and M20 down to Dover.
We need to arrive at least 45 minutes before departure, so if we aim for 13:30 arrival at the docks it gives us some contingency for any hold ups.
On that basis, via google maps telling me its a 2hr 15min journey from Toddington services I suggest leaving Toddington at 11:00 am.
Feels like a list might be useful where pick ups can be added in chronological order:
