Starting to look like a nice photo, now...

Now that we have an Irish Ferries 2010 sailing schedule, we can look at the ferry options and its looking like travelling down from Holyhead to Dover is going to be the most flexible way of getting to Mammy Park. The ferries cost less but there is an extra 150 miles to drive and an extra overnight.

Is the general plan to travel to Dunkerque / Calais on the Wednesday before noon and then take it nice and handy to an overnight and then on to Mammy for the Thursday noon time?

i'm going down to dover late tuesday night so if you fancy a little convoy on the way down let me know i'm in caernarfon and planning on the early ferry with the others.

At the moment Andrew it is.
Calais to Dunkerque, pricing it up it's not too different to the others that sail into Calais but there is a few miles saved the other side and it is an easier flow of traffic aswell.

Its time for a meeting .......

O.K. We are all booked on the 0800 ferry on the 28th, Will be travelling up on Tuesday 27th from Devon and plan to have an easy journey until we get somewhere close to Dover.
Hopefully we can meet up with the rest somewhere on route,At present we are taking the yellow thing as long as it is finished on time,hopefully it will have a nice new interior, power steering and tyres by then.

Very noisy trip without them Roger

Right I've booked ferry as well now

gives me something to aim for getting the camper sorted by then hopefully

nice one,
Now the search is on to find a 'Stellplatz' for an overnight stop. We're sort of thinking east side of Essen? That would give us a relatively easy drive the next day.

There are plenty, we just need to pick one they are starting from 2 euro to 10 euro

Please, please, please can we go to one with a talking porta-loo drop?

Wow!
Do tell, what will the youngest member of the Syncro team be called?

Just about to email French, Belgium, Dutch and German authorities to ensure a safe passage and make sure all of the traffic lights are on green! Was thinking about some flashing blue light out riders aswell...

The latest member of 80-90 and syncronauts is called katie and was born sun 15th at 6.06 in the morning and hopefully the little one and new mum will be home tomorrow, i'll just have to sort a passport out next. i think it's more than the ferry!

We have decided to take the Rosslare / Cherbourg route and gently amble along and arrive in Mammut on the Thursday. We will probably pick you guys up in Germany somewhere along the way
