SpeedFerries.com Return Journey

[Tripps]

The 17:30 Boulogne to Dover on Monday 20th is now full, and I've a few members of our party who still wish to book up.

Is anyone coming home with SpeedFerries on a different crossing and would you mind looking after some lost lambs?

We've just booked on the 2100 rtn.

You're more than welcome to tag along with us....

Thanks for the offer 936adl, will speak with those who haven't yet booked (22 cars are already on the 17:30 crossing) and see what they think.

We are too
Any idea how long the trip down (and back again) to Le Mans will be, I can't remember how long it took us in the Max & Paddy wagon and I'm guessing we might be going a little quicker this time

We've had to split for the return boat.

Two cars coming back on 17.20 (Golf (support car) & Cerbera)

One car on the 21.00 (Chimaera)

Not ideal but should have booked quicker

We've three TVR on the 21:00 return crossing, so if yours wants to meet with our people, give me a shout.

Sounds like Ted should sponsor Speedferries .. and have "Speed Matters" written down the side of the ferry

Not heard anything about my 200' banner request yet though...

Booked the 10.30am return journey on the Monday. How long will it take from Le Mans to Boulgne ?

[neilchills]

Depends what you're driving...think you've covered that on another thread though ;-)

Seriously, anything under 4 hours on a work morning would be very impressive...and very dangerous. Unless of course someone else knows better...

Best bet would be to cut the journey by booking a hotel for the Sunday night nearer to Boulogne - don't expect much of a post-race atmos though. Might catch the U.S. Grand Prix on the way up...

We managed to get to Calais from Sées (about 50 miles north of Le Mans) in about four and a half hours on the Monday morning, setting off at 9am after sleeping in the car (bloody unmanned petrol stations :rant so I'd reckon on around at least five and a half hours to clear the traffic at Le Mans.

ViaMichelin reckons the 418kim trip will take 4hr 39 mins and cost 9.1 euros (I'm sure we paid more than that...)going through Rouen, quel suprise!

[ferrari355gtb]

mmmm.... looks like we'll have to leave early then. Try not to wake you !!

On the 21.00 return. Wish it was the 14.00, but as said above, should've booked earlier.

To be honest I'd say that 14:00 is too early, last year we did a 15:00, this year a 16:00, and next year we've moved forward to a 17:30, mainly so we can enjoy a good blat, scenary and lunch on the way back.

Probably help if I don't enjoy quite so much booze on the Sunday night too

For the last 8 years I've been crossing around 13.00. Not to worry, it'll make a change having a lay in and cruising back up. CAN'T WAIT!! who's on the 07.30 on Weds?
