Day out - Boulogne 25 August

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

Hi all,
I have been making some enquiries as I have just heard that Speedferries will take bicycles (after my initial trip 2 years ago!!), and have capacity for 10, maybe 12 at a push.

We would take a day's ride from Boulogne, returning to Boulogne (recce for Croydon-Paris later!!)

If you are interested, please reply ASAP and I'll give you further details.

Interested of Selsdon. Sounds great, provided I've recovered.

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

£10 each way for passenger and bike.

Im interested in this as it gets me out of going to a wedding that weekend. How does it work? Whats involved? Do I need to tell my mum I'll be late back for tea?

[Alan M]

Yes, I enjoyed the last time we went to France so hopefully yes.

What sort of speed or would there be an A and B group

I'd be up for this although it depends if I could get a lift by a kind aggreeable to the ferry and secondly that I dont spend the crossing throwing up!!

Ant -

Early start - drive to Dover avec bicyclette, then ride on the ferry.

Whizz down to Boulogne (about an hour)

Pleasant ride through rolling French countryside.

Stop for lunch.

Back to Boulogne (maybe a few beers ) and a bite to eat, then to Dover and drive home.

The car park can be pre-booked (£5 all day last year) or you can take a chance on the local streets (about 5 minute ride).

Paul - I can give you a lift if you want.

Alan, may not be enough for an A and a B group, but it's not an eyeballs out sort of day.

Duly struck

Cheers mrP, sounds like a good day out, however unless I can secure a lift down there I wont be attending as her indoors will be off up to Yorkshire to a wedding in the motor...WHICH MEANS I'LL BE EXPEXCTED TO ATTEND AS THIS WAS MY EXCUSE NOT TO GO...oh why oh why did we sell our other car....

[Andrew G]

You sold your 2nd car to be GREEN, so to the rescue .
I can give you a lift if you can get to Croydon (GBs) for pick up.

[Antloony]

Well thank thee kindly . I can get to BG's no problemo.

Is it a case of bringing the usual things plus passport and a few euro's???

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

Indeed, plus a bike would come in useful
