It would be possible to stop there on route if the deal is good enough

BTW.....How many of you have satnav?

This could be important as I am collecting postcodes for nav points.

Bearing in mind the point blank refusal of any discount and even offering a used car at more than a new one from just over the water even including the ferry fare I was a bit disappointed with their prices.

I do hear their service is excellent, so it is a bit of a shame on the pricing front. Still I guess when you have a captive audience as a lot of islanders won't leave it's a non-issue.

**roo** · 30-01-2008, 15:56

anyone booked the ferry yet?

mdk1 · 30-01-2008, 17:26

Was going to ask the same question!

devonutopia · 30-01-2008, 19:13

I shall be very soon.

Which one was it again?

mdk1 · 30-01-2008, 20:13

Just had a look on red funnel
depart soton 9.20
depart IOW 20.30
car 2 adults 2 kids
£30 return.

May leave it abit longer.

Fabia 12v · 30-01-2008, 20:42

Forgot to post on here, swmbo has rulled me out of this meet in favour of us going to WSM meet. So see you all at WSM.

Rich

pixi · 30-01-2008, 22:08

Yeah, whatever Rich

For you beggers that are coming, I may ask one of you to pick me up a pair of shoes that I'm trying to track down

Oh yes and the ferry fares wont be any cheaper than the £30 quoted.

Matt07 · 30-01-2008, 22:38

Just noticed we'll be in the Isle of Wight when this meet comes over. Is there still space at the pub for 4?

pixi · 30-01-2008, 22:48

The pub hasn't been booked yet so final numbers are still needed and it's still open for others to join. I am going to need to book it very soon and I really don't know how the pub will cope. Last year we all sat together on one long table, I think we may be split up this time.

Matt07 · 30-01-2008, 23:06

Excellent. Count me in + 3 extras!

devonutopia · 30-01-2008, 23:36

Pixi - If you need me to hunt out some shoes for you, let me know. Depends if it means going to a big high street name as I don't work in a town with a very big high street.

**roo** · 31-01-2008, 21:29

Just booked ferry for me and Em.

Leave soton 0920
Leave IOW 2030

pixi · 31-01-2008, 21:37

Excellent

I'm hoping to finish the route from the Duver to the pub at Whitwell with satnav info next week. I want to take us through sandown and then shanklin old village through the twisties towards ventnor but dont want anyone to get lost on the way!

cheezemonkhai · 02-02-2008, 00:49

£30!!

Another year, another £3.

Oh well, will have a think on this one closer to the time as I can collect my ticket so can do it the same week.

Can't make this i'm afraid

sotonjoe · 09-02-2008, 23:25

I would have loved to have made this one but I'm off to Dartmoor on that Saturday to do some mountain biking.

Next time perhaps.

Tigger_1979 · 10-02-2008, 13:15

I will be booking the ferry sometime this week as I am unable to goto Portugal that week.

pixi · 10-02-2008, 14:19

Yay!

I mean, oh that's really bad Will

Don't worry, if the weather keeps up like this it will be almost as good as Portugal.

Did a bit of the rest of the route yesterday but took a wrong turn and couldn't be bothered to go back. Good job I will have Mr P with me or who knows where we may end up

Are we at final numbers now? If so, I will book the pub tomorrow.

Tigger_1979 · 12-02-2008, 21:28

wheres a link so i can book the right ferry
