Looks awesome!

Hi all,
We’ll be travelling down to the LeMans on the Thursday, but I think we’ll be a little too late to joint this proposed convoy (we’re on the Portsmouth to Caen ferry, which docks around 3pm local time)
As I’ve not been down this way before and we’re in no rush to get there, guidance and support for a pleasant run on the way down would be appreciated. So if could be copied in on the proposed route plan, or other recommendations it would be highly appreciated
Regards,
Andy

Can I ditto that please? I would like to join you guys, but my Chunnel crossing gets me to Calais just before noon, so south of Rouen around 2pm which is behind your schedule (and Rouen traffic and fuel stop might delay further). If I have your route, I might follow you down, keeping to all speed limits! John

If you head for Caen sticking to the autoroute, you will probably get to the Caen meeting point before the convoy, maybe even the one before.

Hi, looks like I'll be travelling down on the Thursday Morning Solo. The timings look quite close to yours.

Any possibility of joining the convoy?
Nothing exciting, just my E39 525d touring or Audi A4 Avant

Send me a PM with your crossing details and I’ll reply with some info.

Sadly we're not going to be able to make this now as we'll be travelling out later on Thursday, but hope you all have a great drive down and look forward to seeing many of you at the Friday Service!

No worries Ben... thanks for letting me know. Have a good drive down yourselves.

As long as the car survives, we’ll see you at the Friday Service.

I hope so, that 205 looks awesome! Luckily we're not walking and finally have two sets of wheels to get us there too.

We're on the same crossing - look out for 3 TVR's. 2 Cerberas and a tuscan

We are two cars that are going through the tunnel but too late for the convoy meeting. Is there any chance you could share your route at all?

[crosseyedlion]

Ferry finally booked!

On the 7:25am crossing Dover-Calais with P&O, anyone else?

[wormski]

This is a bit last minute but here goes.... i'm in a 7 car person group getting the 23.30 ferry from porstmouth to Le Havre. We arrive in Le Havre 8.30am Friday morning. I'm looking for route advice and if there is any rendezvous points. We fancy nice roads over fast roads.

[Miner49er]

Sorry... only just seen your requests for the route and too late now to send out. Maybe next time.

For every one else; see you in the morning!

Cheers all for making it such a memorable, fun & well behaved trip down.

Adding my thanks to Kev for all the work involved in the route planning & for leading us down.

Shout to Neil? for the excellent lead to re-group the tail of the convoy following a wrong turn.

What a great extended weekend, work this morning is a shock.
