Assen Run – Eurotunnel

[Radar]

OK folks, are we going for a group booking or are we all going to book individually, but on the same time services?

I’m easy really, could always do a group book for those that want to?

[Champs]

I am happy with group, just let me know the price and you will have the money… almost instantly!

As a matter of thought, based from my house (B27), Beaconsfield Services could be a good meeting point for all involved. Its roughly half way between Brum and Folkestone and a good refuelling point.

From mine its 91 miles to Beaconsfield and 104 from there to Folkestone.

Don’t forget also… Its 4 hours to Folkestone plus maybe a bit of a delay because we will be hitting the M25 car park during Friday rush hour(s).

[Champs]

Been looking at times. I am thinking the 1020 from Folkestone an the 1520 from Calais.

Total cost £48 per person per motorbike

That sounds fine with me Champs

[katana]

Yep – sounds good

[Champs]

If everyone is in agreement then we can book them up. Will it be easier to book singles?

[Radar]

Times are fine with me

What is the cote on ferry booking? Group or single?

[Champs]

Similar leave times would be around £36 on the ferry

I am happy to book singly, would be easier I guess

[Radar]

I agree Champs, We just need to be sure everybody books the same times and enough space is available for 9 bikes

[Champs]

Yes, although there’s no harm in arriving on the later or earlier train, they are only half an hour apart aren’t they?

I rang Eurotunnel today and tried to get a deal for a group booking – sorry failed (even tried the running the major company bike club line).

They weren’t helpful to say the least, so I reckon individual bookings are the only way. It seams that if you arrive plus or minus 2 hours from the time you’ve booked then they will put you on the next availible train at no extra cost. Also seams that prices rise 3 weeks before departure so need to get it sorted mid April latest.

I have some family business to attend to over the next couple of weeks as you might see elesewhere on the forum.

But I will be booking up my eurotunnel as soon as I can

Please post up here when you have booked at what times.

Cheers folks

[Champs]

Hope everything goes well for you mate

Can someone else check prices as I just tried to book but it’s coming in around 70 quid?

[Radar]

Champs, I will take a look tail end of next week and get booked up. I really need a good trip away now
