Ok, let's say 06.00 @ mine, gives us time to have a cuppa and get down to Folkestone with plenty of time to spare. Nell's café won't be open @ that time in the morning but still a good meeting point to pick up Midden.
Does anyone know what the weather forecast is like for Sunday ?

Weather on BBC looks mixed for Saturday night clearing eastwards so with luck we'll be dry on Sunday

Will do, Dazza. Only coming from North London though so probably easier if I just keep on the M20 all the way to Folkestone.

Informed the bank that I may be using my debit and credit card abroad this weekend , so hopefully won't have any problems with that .

Dazza, plan on leaving mine around 6 pass Nell's cafe around 6.20, pick up Neil, pass your's then onto the tunnel for around 7.15, grab a tea at the terminal, means I get an extra hour in bed

dazza · « **Reply #83 on:** 04 July 2014, 01:04:28 am »

No worries Ceri. It's about 15-20 mins from Nell's to mine. So to save time I can be on the 1st layby on the A249 towards Maidstone @' 06.35.

That's rather ambitious of you Ceri. Will you be able to ride to Ypres with a bad back

PEEPS TAKE NOTE
Seems we need to take with us our

Driving licence (both parts if the photocard style)
passport
vehicle reg document
bike and health insurance certificates
breakdown recovery card handy

Hoping to find some marsh mallows then?

Health insurance certificate? Have absolutely zero chance of finding that before Sunday.

So Neil, you'll be providing all the cash for fuel and other sundries then........................

For basic Health insurance, to help with initial medical treatment, it helps if you have the EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) available FREE on-line from our government, other health insurance is up to you but normally included in travel insurance

Dazza, sounds like a plan

midden · « **Reply #88 on:** 04 July 2014, 10:17:50 am »

i meant travel insurance, it was late

Buzz · « **Reply #89 on:** 04 July 2014, 10:41:52 am »

Any recommendations for one day Euro travel insurance?

midden · « **Reply #90 on:** 04 July 2014, 10:45:50 am »

Check first that you have got insurance included with your bank account and if not perhaps give them a ring to see how much to buy off them. be as cheap to get a years cover with them

Ok I shall say this only once, so I have the beret for our time in France. Not managed the string of onions yet. Will any of you be joining moi? and What should we have for our time in Belgium?
