I just wrote a long msg out and then closed the window by accident!

I dont think itll be that much for the transport over there...

Ive found out the Euro tunnel dont take LPG cars!!
And itd be £49 both ways ATLEAST.

But there is Speed Ferries > http://www.speedferries.com/speedBASIC.php

£20 both ways and they do a ferry to the actual start line! 50 min crossing time too.

I think this will be better, so £40 between 4 £10 each for the ferry.

Going
5.7.2007 21:35 Dover / Boulogne Fast Ferry 5.7.2007 23:30

Return
8.7.2007 23:55 Boulogne / Dover Fast Ferry 8.7.2007 23:50

Its a 50 minute trip, so I think this is meaning 23:55 from Boulogne to the 9th arriving at 00:50 on morning of the 9th.

We get back to Dover at 00:50

Sara I didnt want £50! I said a 1/4 of £50 :)
But if you all think I should book this could drop me a text 07905 029 315 and Ill go ahead and book this. And itd only be £10 each for the ferry!

Although could we get from Nice to Bologne on the 8th? For the 23:55 ferry... After doing Turin to Nice on the same day.

Wed have to go back on the either the early morning ferry, still £20 at 09:50 departure or take the monday off and go through Frnace at a lesierly pace...

Ahah, whoops.

Ive been all over the shop lately, cheers for spotting my deliberate mistake ;)

Eurotunner wont take LPG? Wonder why? Ferry sounds fine to me, I prefer them anyway!

I reckon we should be a little more leisurely on the return - I did want to be back by the 11th, but it looks like I wont even be in the same job by then, so Im not so bothered now...

Dont forget to take some basic foods with you, tea/coffee, potnoodles, etc, and a kettle you can use on the go. Eating while the vehicle is moving isnt exactly elegant, but it is faster than finding somewhere, stopping, ordering, waiting, eating and starting off again. Anything you can prepare and eat inside the vehicle might be an advantage.

The empty space can be filled with duty frees on the way back too ;)

We could then come back on the evening of Monday 9th, ie get back to England at about midnight on the 10th.

What do you say?

Thanks for that, Im looking to get one of those fridges in the back...

Can you get a kettle thatd run off a car battery? I thought they took like 2Kw of energy ?

Found one

Turns out I never got booked onto that training course after all (tsk)! But that means Im probably in no rush to get home, so thats up to the rest of you.

And yeah kettles take loads of energy! Wouldnt a wee gas stove and a metal kettle serve better and be cool in an old-skool type way? :D

Extra battery... hmm, Could spend £15 from a scrappy on one :)
the battery is brand new though :)

I defo have a small gas cooker that is powerful for the size, Ill dig that out :)

I sent off the V62 (for the log book) form today, long story with the DVLA etc, but I finally got it off today so it should take less than 4 weeks! fingers crossed!!!

Alan, Wed love to borrow a small 12V fridge! thatd be perfect!!

Just sorting out a web page for our team :)

Doing the map Im starting to realise just how far our round trip is going to be Mr Roll lol.  Us two are looking at 3000 miles :P  Were gonna need a car radio!




Whats our team number btw?  Team 19?

Ive updated my sat nav maps for europe and a few other bits and pieces.  Ill throw you a link to the website when Ive got something together.  Then we can throw a team link up on the main Crumball site.

Insurance wise...  Are we going to insure each of us for two days so we can have two drivers each day so people can get a rest?  Im more than happy to do Newcastle -> Dover in one go since its just UK driving but in Europe Im assuming we probably wont want to solo drive 300+ miles in a day.
