Club Arnage

2 months today until I leave for LM.. ;D

Woohoo, same as me ;D

Which route/ferry ?

9th Jun Aberdeen - Cumbria
10th Cumbria - Dover
11th Dover - LM via 0700 speedferries

Nickliv,

Same ferry as you, travelling down on the 10th from Chester via Cambridge to pick up the rest of the gear and also 1 other motor. Teaming up with the 3rd car in our group at the Travel Inn at Dover Docks Tuesday night.

Any other CA's on the early Wednesday Speedferry?

I know Muz is on there too.

We're in the chavel inn in Dover too.

2months tomorrow for me - traveling SF thursday 12th  ;D

changed the car car with SF yesterday - fantastic service from them so roll on Lemans :)

in 9 weeks in a couple of hours i will be chugging out of wokingham in the Humber heading for dover through bracknell around the bottom of the M25 for the friday night traffic for my 21:30 speedferries on the 13th.

No convoy for me, just the 2 of us in the old girl spearing through the night for day break on bleu on the morning of the race. I shall then nod off whilst watching hotel porn on sunday 15th in the small hours in the Hotel Alba in Roeun after a night of debauchery in the town.

And then i am on the 23.30 or something boat back to blighty on the monday night after cruising the beaches and cheap booze emporiums of northern france finished with a lovely supper in Bologne.

Not long now  8)

We go on the 11th as well, happy days.

Jules I see you go from Chester........my office is in Chester...maybe we could have a CA do at the races ?

Jem

I shall be departing from Chester on the 8th so that makes it 8weeks tomorrow !! Yippee !!!!!
( Just to keep the Chester theme going !!)

The vanguard of the Liverpool Boys is also off to LM on the 8th, we are on the 23.45 from Portsmouth to Caen. Can't wait ;D

Getting worried, if the frigging weather doesn't get better, the Sixfire may not make it this year.

It may have to be the 740.

The Liverpool boys have a vanguard???

Blimey, Andy - went to Spain in one of those in 1960....

Sunday the 8th overnite from Pompey - Le Harve for me.... and I hopefully will have to ammend my ferry booking if my transport plans work out ;) Somewhat over length for a car booking.

I wish I did ;D

Jem, and why did you not post back in January when we had the first NW meet. Chester races have gone a bit Chavy for my taste, but it is only a 10 min walk home from the course ;D, Which date then? Also trying out Bangor on dee races this year. Any one elsoe for another NW meet? Pre LM?

Back on track, which route are you on?

I never say no ... unless its at the horse racing.. I have a bit (lot) of a horse phobia!  :'(

Fran, neither do I, I'll start another thread.

Theres a few from Chester -

Me, Jules, Gordan etc

i shall keep the rude comments to myself as i dont want a offensive text  :P

Is that a yes steve?

Yes  ::)

We're on the 07:00 Speedferries on Wednesday.

Are you proceeding directly to Dover from turnipland, or are you partaking in the barely adequate rest facilities provided courtesy of one of Dovers less than salubrious hotels?

We'll be overnighting at Dick's place - between Sandwich and Dover.  Then up at sparrow fart and 10 minutes to Dover.

I thought most of Dover's hotels now housed 'asylum seekers'.  ::)

hotel in Dover - what are these??

i just drive from Chester - Dover - Calais - Lemans straight :) doesn't bother me really  :)

Hotels?


Yes but Kev, you're a young man, your joints are supple, your eyes are bright, and you can probably hold an erection all day (whereas our arms get tired). Us more mature campaigners, need a rest, the feel of a good counterpane at night and a miniscule morning glass of powdered orange juice followed by three tinned grapefruit segments before we take on a channel crossing.
H

maybe but my dads 56/7 and he does the same ;) ( not sure about the erection - in fact i dont want to think about that!! )

We all meet up in Dover and enjoy a few pints at the Premier Inn's bar and some food before enjoying a last sleep in a proper bed ;D

Nicliv - which establishment will you be sleeping in?

i understand that bit ;)  :laugh:

We're in the aspirationally titled Dover Premier Travel inn, hoping for a sea view room, rather than an armenian shouting at his broken lorry on the A2 room. In '06 we wandered into Dover itself, drawn by the elusive scent of a curry we never did find, followed by a dissapointing wetherspoons experience.

I think we may look harder for a curry this time.

Pig Pen Racing plans are a little worrying....
Saturday 7th June... Brethren drop off kit for the van meeting at Russ's pad in Kent, huge lash up followed by massive Chinese.
Wake up Sunday 8th, feel awful, drive 130 miles back to home and collect whatever transport is heading down to LM, Pack it, try and remember all important stuff and then drive to Portsmouth that evening for the overnighter.

The luxury of a Premier Travel Inn......

Sure I read that there are some other CA crew on the same ferry?

PP

36 to go.  Why have a short break when it can be streched to 18 days.

Sure I read that there are some other CA crew on the same ferry?

We are going to Caen on the 8th from Portsmouth,

Mike
