If you are coming to the meet on Thursday, if you could give me a cash or cheque that'd be great. If not then PM me and I'll send you my bank details for an online payment or my address to which you can send a cheque.

Ill bring the cash for the 3 of us on thursday and that ticket.

What time is the convoy leaving and where are we meeting? (assuming there is a convoy!)

Tom - I'll talk to you about the route on Thursday night.

On Thursday night, but not at Le Mans - I think Al wants to take his car.

Right. Tickets distributed, everything paid for (except beer and food!)

For those of us going in convoy, meeting point is:

Spen Common Lane, A1/A64 roundabout

7.00 SHARP departure on Wednesday morning. I'll be handing out route maps for the drive down, but just in case Arran can't be arsed with map reading we are taking good 'ol TomTom as well.

We are taking a direct route A1->A14->M11->M25->A2
In France we are heading down to Le Mans on the Peages via Rouen, so bring some moular for the toll booths - you'll need about 25EUR.

Remember to bring some Euros for the kitty - can't remember how much it was last year but if we put 100EUR each in, then we can just divvy up any thing that's left at the end of the week.

I just remembered that I still have a 50m extension cord in the garage....

If somebody has space for it and you think we will need it then I can meet somebody this evening or tomorrow to hand it over. I remember last year that 50m was only just enough to reach the fridge.

I've emailed you too in case you don't read this!!!

Andy

[the-gofer]

Great stuff Andy. Could you drop it in at my Dad's tomorrow night? I'll PM you with his address.

[speed8]

Can do, let me know what time he'll be in.

[ellroy]

We're catching the 14.10 speedferries crossing from Dover->Boulogne.

Tom, yhm - the meet point is A1/A64 roundabout (Spen Common Lane) at 7am.

Crap

Me being a silly bugger assumed that if I had a booking for a car then getting a bike on instead would be nooo problem. Anyway, big problem it is as they can only fit 8 bikes on the ferry. Sooo, now I have a dilemna. Do I go at 1740 Speedferries on Thursday evening which would likely mean tent erecting in the dark.... or... Norfolkline have space for 4am or 8am on Thursday which aren't too far away from my original sailing times.

Would rather do the 4am personally as it's a slightly longer ride and could possibly meet up with Roger on the way. What do you think??
