Im looking to do my 1st trip this summer-Anyone up 4 it?

Hello chaps Thumbs Up

All this sounds fine with me so far. If there is a problem with availability for the ferry I could always see what prices I could get for myself from Poole/Portsmouth and meet up with you in France. Normally they're a fair bit more but I don't mind if it'd make it easier to book.

Also don't mind sharing a room as it would be a lot cheaper.

Cheers

Stu

Right, Norfolk Line Ferries need Name (First & Last) and date of birth for each passenger, as well as make model and reg or bike Rolling Eyes

So, for those who have already responded, please let me have the extra info. And for Illusion - as soon as you can please matey Smile

OK folks - I really want to get the ferries booked this week, but I still need some info from people.

Niff - Got everything I need from you, cheers Smile

Matt & Stu - I still need addresses from you guys, got every thing else.
Illusion - I still need name, address, bike details (make/model/reg) and date of birth.

If you can all get this info to me ASAP I will book the ferries at the cheapest price I can get. If I have no more by Saturday, I will try to book with what I have, but some of you might have to book your own.

Just about to pm the address to you now mate. Can't seem to do it on the computer at work as it keeps chucking me out when logged in.

Stu_666 · Brolly Dolly Joined: 27 Jun 2004 Karma :

Just to let you know that I probably won't be able to check on here again until next Saturday. Will try and have a look mid-week though in case any more info. is needed. Thumbs Up

Hi all, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to drop out of the trip - the opportunity has come up for me to go to US/Canada for a couple of weeks at the end of September which I really dont want to miss out on and I wont be able to afford to do both and get the time off work for both Sad

Sorry guys....

Cheers,

Dan

Bummer

Well, looks like 4 of us now. I'm glad I have held off from booking the ferries.

I hope you have fun in Canada Dan, it's somewhere I would love to go, and given the choice I would do the same so don't feel too bad.

Matt - start saving now for next year. If this goes well, I will almost certainly be looking to head off somewhere next year.

Stu & Niff - do you still want me to get these ferries booked? If so I will do it ASAP as I have all the details (might be able to get the fast ferries with only 4 of us).

Will do mr hippy, im a bit devestated to be honest as i would have loved to come, but paying credit card off and bills amongs new things needed for the bike means i will be in big debt if i did this trip this year.

I will be up for it next year thought as i have time to save now, hope you all have a great time out there, plenty of pics please Very Happy

Yeh we're going to leave on the Friday so we can saunter down and see a bit of France, probably spend the night somewhere about half way down.

Ello chaps Thumbs Up

Definately still in for this so you can book up the ferry for me if you want. Last name is Barnes.

Should still be pretty cheap even with 4 of us going though Wink

Hate to be a awkward pain in the arse again but I'm off to see the motogp now so prob. won't be back till Monday / Tuesday night.

Cheers

Stu

niff5855 · Sausage Boy Joined: 09 Aug 2004 Karma :
