I don't need to cross the Channel.  ;D

Thinking about it nor do I!

I could cross the North sea to Imuiden then drive down through Holland and Belgium! that could be interesting.

Possibly once I've retired (or been outsourced!)

yea good trip, went home via Delft this year (was told it was only a short diversion). Great run, even kept up with the getaway driver  ::)


Even the roads in Belgium are design for the blind, first time I have driven on a brail motorway, you can tell the Belgiums are broke  ;D

WooHoooooo

Ferry booked, thank you Mr Condor only £150 this year for me and the car, yes that is cheaper than normal!
Much better travelling times too, before the delays are called.

The cost works out at about £37.50 per hour which might be steep but it is all relative, they have a big cat to pay for, staff, harbour fees and fuel, I called my boiler man the other day and he charged me forty quid for half an hour, mind you in fairness he was 5 minutes away and he has got a diesel van... ROBBING GIT.

Leave Guernsey Monday 6 June 13.45 arrive 16.45 quiet drive to LM and set-up ready for a quiet evening.
Leave St Malo Monday 13 June 13.25 (normally 1900)

I am on the overnight Sunday arriving early Monday ferry Martin so should have the LB Terroir properly pegged out by the time you roll into town.

(Assuming I dont get distracted en route...)

How could yo possibly be distracted on your way to meeting ME

You know where the fun is, that is why Mrs Sconedigit is coming a day earlier than usual.

BTW Fran, now that things are booked you need to add on the very, very honorary, and privileged ... LB   or you will be washing up for a week...

LD Lines Transmanche are sending out emails to customer this week to confirm that this vessel has been ADVANCED to sail at 14.15pm French time - meaning quite an early start on Monday morning.

Jules...

I have found a dodgy character who offered me MB tickets at highly inflated prices......but I think he is geniune.....so, with a bit of luck we'll be a stones throw from the track so that we can just lounge around drinking Pimms and watching the race from our pitch!!! ;D

Isn't that what you are supposed to do, sounds like you could be a prime choice for Team 'Lazy B'

It can be hard work at times, getting up in the morning, sitting down and then going to bed at night - takes a fair bit of concentration...

After my visit to hospital yesterday....i'm lucky to even be able to drink Pimm's....the consultant annouced after 9 months,that apparently my liver, kidneys are almost healed along with the aorta, and there was me thinking everything had healed after 6 weeks!!!  :'(

So by my calculations everything will almost certainly be healed by June...."so bring on the beer" ;D
