FNRttC FNRttC to Newhaven, Dieppe and Paris 2011

My initial thoughts were to sleep as long as possible on the Saturday morning (especially if there's a few of us staying for a couple of glasses of grape juice on Friday night), go to market, have lunch, do something else (probably have a ride around to kill some time) then get ferry.

If I feel up for another night ride I may ride home, but more than likely I'll get the train.

A normal day then? Why on earth would sleep enter into the equation, you big wuss?

Oh well the decision appears to have been taken out of my hands. There is no option for booking the 9.30 ferry on 22nd on the LD website.

Yep I was looking a couple of days ago and it was fine too.

Will try the phone number provided by Dell once I've got finance from SWMBO.

we're looking at taking the double room in this little charmer in Saint-Saens

which leaves two singles in the other bedroom if anybody's interested. About £100 for four.

Watch out for La Cabane!

I've been a bit slow on this one. Can't get a spot on the outbound ferry, so if I make the ride I'll be one of the ones waving wistfully at the ferry as you disappear Dieppewards. Apparently there's not enough room for my bicycle on the ferry, though there is room if I'd like to bring a car. Go figure. I don't know Newhaven - what are the drinking possibilities, and is anyone hanging around for a refresher?

As I'm not on the ferry either, I'd say it's a distinct possibility! I'm going to work out what my drinking/cycling tolerance levels are on the Dover ride later this month.

Newhaven? I'd rather read P&L. Take the scenic to Brighton - it's a really good 'approach' ride, and Rich will be waiting with open

That bad, eh? Yes - it had occurred to me that Brighton or Lewes were options.

Who else fancies Brighton, then, for a cheeky little cervecita?

Seeing as I have that Friday off, it would be rude not to.....

Me, I do.
