NSX Club Europe Tour V: SAVE THE DATE 19/20/21 MAY

[Pride]

Hi Everybody,

When do we need to think about booking the Tunnel? What time is good for everybody.

Ollie

I'm very easy and flexible on timings but would suggest catching the train ferry no later than 11am. Any thoughts from anyone else???

Cool. Will sign up for the Thursday as well then

Hi Kye,

I think most of the UK group have booked the hotel for the Thursday night as last year.
Good to see you signed up again

I'm flexible too, happy to fit in with everyone else if someone has a time restriction or is travelling from further away .

Not sure If Joe is signed up as he has not put himself on the list otherwise I think Havoc is the furthest away?

I'm flexible too. Think Joe had signed up on Facebook page.

Think Joe and I are the long-distance guys here - whereabouts do you live Pete?

What time did we get last year - was it 12.50? That worked well for me, although I could probably bring it forward a bit if needed...not sure about Joe / Pete...

Looking at google we've 340km / 3hrs 10mins from Calais, either via Brussels :shudder: or Antwerp (any better?!?). Plus we'll lose an hour to time difference. So the 12.50, allowing for a pit stop or two, would get us to the hotel +/- 6pm, later if we hit a lot of traffic. That feels OK to me and SHOULD put us past Antwerp/Brussels before rush-hour.

...it also would mean probably not waiting for any slackers that miss the train! :cough:



Separate thought...fuel prices...is it still cheaper to fill up just outside Calais now?!?

On petrol prices there's nothing in it.

have signed up for thursday too guys. can leave any time Thursday morning or could do wednesday evening and stay somewhere on the way ? could break up the journey a bit ?

I thought last year we got a train about 11.00 with a meet up at 9.30 at Clacketts services on M25?

I wonder if we'll get another one of these this year:

Just checked - it was 12.50 out on the Thurs and 19.50 back on the Sun. It was all Simon's idea!

I need 3hrs + traffic to get to Folkstone from my place, so anything before 12 is pushing it as I'll have to leave during rush hour (not the end of the world but not ideal if I've another 3-4hrs drive at the other end). Think from memory Joe's got a longer drive still...
