The Fridays Tour 2013 with added poll

[StuAff]

Has anyone changed to the 07:00 Portsmouth to Le Havre? Sorry if this has been done already - bit short of time to scan the thread...

I looked at the train times (assuming the schedule is the same)- on a Saturday, unless we managed to get off the ferry and to the station within 20 mins, you'd have a six hour plus train journey leaving at two.

Thanks - I'm trying to figure it out while concentrating on something else, so am not being very clever. I'm going to roll with the 16:00 to Cherbourg, as it's only a stone's throw from our destination...

Neither do Ibis, hence my having to book Travelodge for the Saturday night .

Bugger. I haven't booked a hotel for return yet...

That's highly unlikely.
Where does this two o'clock train go? Via Abergavenny?

Can someone summarise what the general plannage is ferry crossing wise.

The lovely Helen won't be joining us so I've got to figure out if I want to take a car or no, and just come by bike.

Still have spare bed(s) and couches and floor space for any seeking a bed for the night before or after, the 'sham being between Pompey and that Landhan and Chez Collins being in site of Horsham Station.

we're going the day before..........allegedly.

I can't even begin to fathom what that, or its implications, might mean!

Paris Gare St Lazare. Seriously nuts.

I am on same fast ferry there and back as everyone else, and planning to book cheaper ibis on return for saturday night.

Right, as a decent chunk of us are sticking with the 1600, would anyone like to join me for a social on the Saturday morning/afternoon? Thinking of a ride to a suitable pub 15-20 miles away, lunch, back into town in plenty of time to make the ferry. Plenty of room here to dump bags should it be needed (and only a mile and a half from the ferry port).

 

[CharlieB]

Have booked the Travelodge for the Saturday night. It's a family room, so if anyone wants a share, please let me know.

Happy to join you on that, Stu.

Yes please Charlie. P.S.I think you're sharing the room I've booked on the Friday before we go.

Sounds better than reading a book. I'll join you too

 

[ianmac62]

Yes, me too for a social ride on the Saturday, please, Stu.
