    When is everyone leaving and who's best to book the ferry with?

    Tesco Clubcard for Eurotunnel

    Failing that, try http://www.altprom.com/ - you'll need to phone for a
    quote

    Go out Thurs 16th & come back Mon 20th on SeaFrance via Leisure Direction
    for £29. I used SF last year. They have invested in posh bike clamp things
    which are a bit better than their old system of strapping bikes to chains
    or side rails.

    Thursday evening using the tunnel, drinking beer in Calais and leaving
    for the circuit after breakfast.

    There's a choice of hotels within a couple of minutes ride of the
    tunnel once you're over there and think the one we're using is the
    Ibis because it's got a bar and the cheaper one's don't have one.

    I am doing the train at around 18:30 on Thrusday and then stopping in
    the Ibis. Hotel around 20:30, beer bed and a earlyish start Friday
    morning is the plan.

    Tunnel every time Loz! 20 miles less of the M20, quicker and so fucking
    hassle free.
    What bike you thinking of taking?

    You cunts are all addicted to early starts. Donald and I appear to be the
    only Gentlemen in UKRM.

    Talking of which, Dozey are you planning Chimay? You should. Split the
    journey via York if you like.

    I'm thinking of going over on the tunnel, probably around 10PM on the
    Thursday night, then stoping in a cheapo hotel just on the other side
    for a nice morning start to Belgium, I'll either use the etap we wer
    in last year, or really cheap at the a formule1 round the corner.

    Then back on Sunday afternoon.

    I am aiming to do exactly this, but need to leave it to a couple of
    weeks before departure to be absolutely positively sure I have a bike
    to go on.

    And yes, I'll be staying in the Ibis, 'cos it's got the bar. It does
    have the downside of being full of Bonwicks and Ogdens, mind.

  13. Indeed, we all know that Colin Irvine is the only true gentleman here
    on UKRM and you only have to look at his facebook profile picture to
    realise it!

  15. I'm travelling with an ex-colleague on Thursday. Was going to opt for
    the Ibis but it seems pigging expensive.
