Any of you Kingston/Surbiton folks heading for the 10.40 Dover Sea Cat on 6th Jul?

Hi John, glad to hear you're coming.

I'm picking a friend up from Ascot and heading off early Thursday morning for the same crossing. I don't know the route yet (I'm coming down from Leicestershire the night before) but I'm sure we can meet up on the way?

Hi Rich,

It would be cool to meet up. Clackett's Lane services could be a good meeting point (anti-clockwise on the M25). It's on the south side before the M26

Right, well finally getting round to sorting something out.

Are there any tickets still available for camping and parade laps etc.?

How do I book some up?

James,

I've taken that route a few times . . very straight forward. All we need to decide is where to meet up half way (to re-group) . . . previously I suggested Sees

Might need to re-group again just before we hit Le Mans somewhere like La Bazoge

BTW - although I 'run' the PCGB early 911 register, I can't make Dysart arms (because I live in Norfolk). As far as I can tell this meet doesn't need organising . . . you just turn up, early cars might be there, might not be.

Hi All

As ever I was last minute planning and had to courier my application at the end of April

How would I now chase up confirmation ?


Also
Kids mean my better half cant accompany me for all of the driving so at the moment it looks like a flight into Lorient on Friday midday and out of Paris Midday Sunday with yours truly driving the Gulf livery LeMans Taxi to and from the airports.

Is there a better option for airports ? Anyone else fly-driving or with folks to pickup from airports?
Cheers
Hig

I was thinking of a hotel in France half way back to the tunnel but if the majority are staying on I may change my mind :)
