I am just starting to sort put my details, and trying to justify both this and TT as an OAP
(I will be camping to save costs)

when are you headed down and back dave?

is anyone else headed from north west?

Pete


Hi Pete

would be great is you could make it.

If I remember correctly there's Dave (A/C), his mate, Dannyboy and myself all on the same ferry.
We could easily meet up at one of the M6 service stations and travel down to Plymouth together is that's what everyone wants.
I think we had different ideas on the routes through Spain and France though, to get to the campsite.

have checked this outbound and no seats remain so am looking at probably

3 july 2315 poole - cherbourg arr campsite sat night
11 july 2300 cherbourg - poole dep campsite early sat morning

overnight slow ferry seems opportunity to recover from days ride and set off early for next day
cherbourg campsite may still be a bit long day for me so may need to adjust to add stop-over
anyone else doing similar?

just made this booking as it gives me effectively a night accommodation there and back to break journey from 'oop north'

if anyone else is doing anything even vaguely similar it would be good to meet up

roll on!

I've finally got round to booking my ferries, I'm on the 9:00 Poole to Cherbourg on Friday 3rd July, and the 18:30 Cherbourg to Poole 20:30 Cherbourg to Portsmouth on Sunday 12 July. Planning to take 2 days each way and find a random camp site somewhere interesting.

Anyone on the same ferries?
