Great news, now to decide what trains to catch
the channel tunnel website has trains leaving every 30 minutes, so what about 8.20am train going out and 7.36pm back, (arrive back in UK around 7pm)
gives us a long day to explore and Midden time to sample as many French/Belgian cafes as possible.
Unfortunatley Christo my insurance really doesn't cover pillions, that why it was only £100 full-comp last year, so get the bra and dress of your rommie and photos for Midden.
Only Dazza gets the pics!
Still up for taking me pillion, Dazza?

Go to the channel Tunnel website http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/home/ put in the dates and approximate times and you'll get the actual train times for that day, then its credit/debit card or tesco voucher. Need to book your own tickets but its dead simple, even I can do it
Just remember to say no to their travel insurance but book your own bike recovery insurance
If everyone agrees with the times suggested, I'll leave booking my tickets until we've all agreed the times.
So far we have
Red Ceri
Midden
Dazza
Grandma
Arfa?
Christo
Anyone else?????
so really we need book at same time to insure we get same train.

I won't have my own transport, remember, unless people want to chip in for my fuel, and nominate me designated booze mule.

We only need to book asap, no real need to book 'at the same time' but sooner rather than later, as looking at the trains that are sold out, these times may be going fairly fast.

I would be really interested in this, but I don't have a passport.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!

Be pushing it to get a passport in the next 3 weeks with the latest Gov cock up regarding passport applications, unless you've had one recently, new applications seem to be the ones that are taking their time. You can only try though and see what happens. I recon you'd still get on the train if you booked nearer the day
Always seems funny when I hear someone hasen't got a passport, never been without one since I was 20.
Since 20? I don't think I've ever not had one! Being a Brit born & raised in France, I've always needed one.
