Looks like DFDS have now started a Dover - Calais route.

Details HERE

Just done a quote and coming out about £29 each way, so could be a better option for this year guys.

Excellent - presumably they've taken over the Sea France slots. All we need to do now is decide who's going in what.

tvr parade lap this year at le-mans classic so i think the tasmin is going , so mike do you fancy taking the tall bloke or the old scruffy bloke

Cheeky bugger ! Only to be expected though I suppose.

Have had a chat with Jim & Paul and it seems that the plan is to go in Paul's Tasmin and my Cerb.

Have looked at ferries (out on Wed 4th, back Mon 9th):

DFDS do a Dover/Calais route, £29 each way but crossings out are at 09:00 and 13:30 (there's a 15:45 back).

The Dover/Dunkirk route is out at 10:00 or 12:00, back at 16:01 or 18:01

P&O do a 10:15 crossing out at £35 or 11:10 @ £50; back is either 16:05 (£35) or 17:45 (£45.00)

Tunnel is about £70 each way.

Prices appear to be for two adults/one car.

Dunkirk is about 30 mins further to drive compared to Calais.

So, what is your preference?

Well done Mike. All bases covered there.

As a passenger this time I have no worry which way it goes.
However, the timings on Dover - Calias don't look
great. Would mean a very silly o clock start to catch a 9.00
sailing. Maybe stick with what we know ?

Your call Paul & Mike.

I dont mind which ever seems best mike your call?

Jim & I booked on ferry. 10 am out on Wednesday Dover - Dunkirk; back on Monday 4pm crossing.

Don't forget your breathalyser kit Paul

I think i may have one in the garage that came with the Alfa. Will have to check next time I'm in there.

Got everything apart from breath test in hand getting some number plates with euro GB on got bulbs triangle fan belt yellow top !
roll on july

You'll need breakdown cover in case a wheel falls off.

Just a quick reminder that the balance of £110 each is due by 1st May.
