FNRttC FNRtC to Newhaven, Dieppe and Paris

[martint235]

What time boat is planned for the return?

John all depends what you're up to once you get to France. I'm hanging around Dieppe and getting the 6.30am boat back on the Sunday. Other people are off to Paris and other places I believe.

 

[AKA Bob]

Have my ticket! Yippee!!!

F1 doesn't seem available for 20th, looking at Etap @£35 per night, with the advantage of being closer to town. Anyone else had a look for rooms?

My plan this year is to stay the night in Dieppe, then cycle to my parent's in Belgium, on the Saturday. Back to England by Eurostar from Lille on the Sunday.

 

[martint235]

Yep I've got a room for two nights at the Etape. I'm just going to hang around Dieppe and the environs then catch the early ferry Sunday morning and cycle back to London from Newhaven

One is booked on the Ferry to Dieppe on the 20th at 1000hrs and returning 22nd at the obscenely unearthly hour of 0630.... I blame the tall one..

So count me in please dear Sir.

How can it possibly be my fault?

I'm a probable for the ride down to Newhaven, and breakfast before waving the rest of you off. As I recall, it was a pretty decent breakfast last year! After that, probably ride home again.

Come to Dieppe and ride home on Sunday!!!

+1, except for the riding home part (out in London Friday night, so I'll take the train home I think).

I should say that I'm not going to keep a list on this one.

Hopefully the ferry isn't either.

Easy... bad influence....

But Teef, really!!!

 

[martint235]

Me? A bad influence? Never!!

I blame 'Teef too!

 

[Aperitif]

Yes - I'm a bad influence - I regularly lead myself astray. But what do you upstanding citizens of veloland do? Copy. Mentoring was always my forte, but now I'm older, well - happy to lead by bad example as I don't care anymore!
Regarding your stay in Dieppe, Davy. When the concierge says "Vous ne pouvez pas prendre cette chose sale vieux dans votre chambre" she 'll not be talking about a) your old heap of tubing masquerading as a bike or b) BigMart after ten litres of the local cidre. Anyway Davy, you should get to Paris - you would go down well in The Pigalle (and undoubtedly get arrested for it too) and any opportunity to practice your French can only be a good thing. 'Davy' and 'oui' are synonymous after all.
"The thighs the limit" - go for it!

I'm up for this also, apart from the riding back bit.
