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

    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).

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

    Total cost £48 per person per motorbike

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

    Times are fine with me

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

    Similar leave times would be around £36 on the ferry

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

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

    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.

    Found some more Bike related tunnel info here:
