French Frenzy ?

This sounds good... I think I could get the 28th off... I would have been paid by then too...

 

If people are happy with those times, I suggest that's what we go with for Weds 28 September .

The weather's very mixed at the moment, this coming weekend is looking like a wet and windy washout, so what I'm going to do is take a look at the forecast about 5 days ahead and take a punt then.

 

I'm going over tomorrow morning 09.50 train for a run along the coast, the forcast seems to be ok ish and coming back on the 19.50 train so i'll let you know if we had time to do everything

 

im keeping my eyes on this one but will be last min thing if i can make it not sure yet.

 

You Do Not need to Be At Terminal 50 Mins Before that is Crap - 20 mins is Good Enough - I have Open ticket so dont Really Matter to Me but i like to be out early - lets see what the weather brings also as if windy like last week me not playing or if Raining Me Not Playing -

 

No it isn't "crap" and in any case I said 40 mins, not 50.

If you are booked on a particular crossing, you need to have checked in MORE than 30 mins before the train's scheduled departure or you won't get on it. That's in the terms and conditions - you'll get bumped down to the "next available crossing" and that's likely to be 30 mins later or more, as there are two trains an hour most of the year - we missed the check-in by 5 mins a couple of years ago due to a long queue on the French side and were stuck there for two hours waiting for the 'next available train'. And it's a good idea to leave 10 mins to get through the automated checkout in case there's a problem, like the person who always seems to bring the wrong credit card and doesn't have their booking number.

Early starts are fine but you're also just a few mins up the road from the terminal, other people have to ride for well over an hour to get there...

 

Just a little footnote to the above, Border control at all ports seem to be targeting bikes, this can add 10-20mins both ways, And as the discussion on departure times seems to getting heated I'm out of this one.

 

Play nice children

 

I can usefully use the day for other activities too. Count me out.

 

So are we doing 8.50 out and 19.20 back or what????
