Paging the French Runners

To forestall any more of the queries I've had in the last 24 hours ;-)

1. We are going from Dover

2. We are sailing to Calais.

3. We are sailing on a POSL boat.

4. We are not taking the tunnel.

5. Aim to check in at 11.30am latest, for safety's sake.

6. Present your reference number at check-in. You will be given a
ticket.

7. We are going from Dover

8. We are sailing to Calais

9. We are sailing on a P&O boat.


The hotel is Le Relais, in Sedan.

Dinner's at 8pm, so you'll need to get a move on once you're off the
boat.

 

Is the obvious route from Calais as dull as it potentially looks?

 

Depends who runs out of fuel, snaps a chain etc.

 

Yes.

Just tag along with some of the SOB's than you can point and laugh as
one sheds its chain.

HTH

Paul.

 

Not at 140MPH in the rain.

<Waves to Andy Bonwick>

 

FYYFF.

 

My bike doesn't do 140mph unfortunately.

 

If you mean the autoroute via Reims, then yes. I wouldn't recommend the
N43 from Cambrai to Charleville, it's even more tedious than the
autoroute and takes three times as long. Even without random detours
through the countryside.

 

MWHID ;-)

Fucker was doing more than that past me, in a /ferocious/ crosswind.

Left turn onto the D988 followed by a right onto the D88, D31,N819 and
finally N95/N58 to Sedan?

Suspect it will take ages but it looks rather interesting

 

It was fun though, I rememeber thinking to myself I can't see a thing
other than these tyre tracks.. and if they veer off anywhere I'm slowing
down. As the branch of a tree blew across both lanes.

 

Afraid so, yes. The roads in the Ardennes more than make up for it,
though.

 

Dodger will have eaten it long before it gets a chance to cool down.

 

Not really. The trick is to look out for SD sitting in a laybuy having a
Tab. However fast you go you will always find SD further sitting in
another laybuy having another Tab. Strange that. He's like some sort of
Genie! Always stop and have a chat and make a wish.

 

<puts hand up>

I know it's all booked and paid for, but I don't think I can make it
this time.

 

Fucking hell TOG herding cats with a football rattle must be an absolute
doddle compared to this.
When are you going again?

 

<Puts head in hands and sighs deeply>

 

26-28 May, so there's a hotel place going begging if anyone wants to
arrange their own ferry and pay BGN for the place.
