No problem. Do you have any walkie talkies? I have a 2nd one I can reserve for you if not. In a convoy situation you either need to be in comms by walkie talkie, or make every effort to keep up with the person leading.

If the person in leading is either Jason or Steve... forget it!!

I found that out at the last Weston Meet... beautiful sight as your car roars off into the sunset Steve


I've got satnav and I've never been abroad... you can tail me if you like mate... the offer's there

4.5 hours on a good run, don't forget the M1 is still a building site , so will have 40mph limits

i did Chester to Dover , left at 12.15am , arrived at 5am iirc , but the weather was sh1te around the M25

some of the evening pictures look "interesting"

[devonutopia]

I think it would be best not to venture to Mimon as well....

When I say "keep up with leaders" I only mean in terms of not getting baulked by the yokels over there. Typically this can be done by mirroring the car in front in terms of overtaking, so the convoy is maintained.

Im all paid up

Jason - if you let me know once you receive the cash so I can mark myself as paid.

This trip gives me an incentive to get the eibachs / new brakes / tyres / wheels fitted - guess I'll be busy.

[devonutopia]

I'll add "PAID" notes by everyone on the list as and when I see credits coming through.

From Hull to (via Dover) C.P is 600 miles, from Rotterdam to C.P is 221 miles... so it doesn't cost that much more to go via Hull (for me anyway)

how much are tickets from Hull then? I am in Sheffield and everytime I drive to Czech I go via Dover as it is so much cheaper with Norfolk line.

cheers

[robb06210]

Well I'm fully booked - Travel Lodge near Dover, Ferry's all sorted... and addresses all written down for entry into my satnav

Total cost of Ferry Tickets was about £45 return... not bad considering usual price is like £100

Four and a half hours drive from Liverpool > Dover though, still I'd rather go over in a large group in the event I get lost

[devonutopia]

I'd better get my ferry sorted too.

For 2 adults it was around £260 return for a premier outside cabin. So it's about £35 each more expensive to go via Hull unless you go for the travel lodge in Dover option then it's about the same.

I'd rather put the miles on the car around the ring than driving up and down the UK
