French Run - ferry times

This will be sorted out in the paperwork to follow next year, but
basically with 40+ bikes, we're being sorted into two boats.

Outbounds are 1055 and 1240. Returns are 1310 and 1405.

Plan at the moment is to put the people from the Frozen North on the
later boat out (so they don't have to get up st sparrows' fart) and
the earlier one back (so they can get home at a sensible hour).

As the hotel is near Lille, it's not a long ride, so even the slow set
(waves at Ginge) should make the hotel by 5.30pm local.

 

Quite probable that I shall return later.
Days later!

 

That's very kind, but we're staying Thursday night in Dover with
Kevin, so can we share with him 'n' Lyn please?

Super!

 

Kevin who?

Stupid bastard, I mean, how am I supposed to know which bloody Kevin,
could be thousands of them....

The one that lives in Dover.

What about suvverners that are lazy bastards? Can I have the later boat,
please?

Me too please!

 

What's the point in booking you at all, given your record for making
it to the port?

 

Not to be left out I hope that Surrey and Hampshire count as
qualification to put me and brother on the early out / late back

cheers

 

This is to give you the time to pick up pieces of broken bike from the
motorway, really, isn't it?

 

Just to help TOG out just a little bit, IDGAF which one I'm on - out or
back.

 

I'd prefer the later one on the way out; makes no odds on the way
back.

 

You could at least book a cargo slot for the bike: "One crate, bike
parts, slightly used"

You're horrible to me, both of you.

We wouldn't be nasty to you if we didn't love you. Or something.

Kev Weller. Lives on the Far Side of Dover.

 

Why do you need to number it? Anyway, he's straight.

 

<looks at map>

I hope he can swim.

 

*AOL*

IME, on a bike[1], whatever time you turn up, they tend to let you on
the next ferry going.
