Dover - Calais 16/6 08:30am Lets rival the others.

[tjdixon911]

Just as a rival (in the nicest possible way!) to the thread titled "How many are on Dover / Boulogne 16/6 at 07:45?"

how many of you are going to be going on the Dover Calais route at 08:30 on the 16th June? I am for starters;

Boxster (Mine)
Elise S1 (awtong)
Fiesta Si (The beerholder!)

Loads of people seem to be doing the other route, I hope the same numbers will be doing this one!

No Tivs yet?

We will be there first.

All stations on deck we are armed with Cruise Missiles.

All in the best possible taste

Just you wait, it'll probably rain so with a Boxtster and Fiesta you'll whizz past the TVR tip-toeing in the wet!

longer ferry journey to boluogne, could work out even!

[tjdixon911]

I have done a route planner on the AA and that says 260 miles Calais to Lemans.

So In theory we should be there around 2pm.

I think our ferry trip is 55minutes to Calais.

How far is it from Boluogne to Lemans?

Most mapping software on the net gets the "wrong" Boulogne, there are two in Southern France, probably around 130 miles from Le Mans.

Try Boulogne-sur-Mer as thats the full name of the port town.
