FNRttC FNRttC to Newhaven, Dieppe and Paris 2011

[StuartG]

Bu**er - missed it because I couldn't book before i went away - but there is room on the 22:30. So, if we could find somewhere c. Newhaven to crash out Friday, we could take the overnight and catch the leading peleton en route to Paris.

Any ideas where? Any company?

Bu**er - missed it

Oh Stu!!!

If you catch the overnight one the peleton will have to catch you!

Well - a breakthrough - LD Lines have re-opened foot passenger bookings so I am on the 09:30 coming back Sunday. So it looks like a second outing for the Brommie. Last week Swansea, now Paris, next year ... ????

BTW I note the boat is no longer the Seven Sisters but MV Cote D'Albatre. Wonder if that effects anything?

 

[Wobblers]

Rumour has it that Southern Railways are doing a sale on their advance tickets today on their website. Might be a chance to book a cheap return from the coast.

Stuart - I take it you got confirmation on the bike?

 

[martint235]

They have changed the boat but I'm still seeing no tickets for a bike.

Stuart - I take it you got confirmation on the bike?

Nope. Foot only. I did try la femme fatale on the 0800 number but no joy with a bike booking. So Brommie hand luggage it is!

Off to get a smaller chainring unless you can use your younger charms.

 

[StuartG]

I did and there are no cheap tickets from Newhaven Sunday night 24th.

Count me in!!!

Is opening at 09:00 on Friday 22 July. So that a wistful farewell can be waved.

I did say that about a dozen people would be coming and gave assurances that they really would be wanting to have a drink or two to make it worth opening. I hope that is true.

It's a good Hope for a caper.

I think for a change I won't bother with the cycling back lark and have a few beers instead!!!

 

[theclaud]

That is at least three then.

Four.

But my cheapie tickets go from Brighton. I'm relying on you to moderate the Newhaven end of the drinking. Which is very sensible of me, I think...

 

[theclaud]

Absolutely. Three pints could be a good limit, beyond which I reckon there would be a boaking up risk on the hill out of town.

Hill? Hill?!?!****!! Seeing as you've been so good as to sort out the pub opening times, could you now turn your attention to the topography?

 

[Aperitif]

How odd. I am looking out of the window and the street is full of Swansea fans! In front of my eyes, on the internet - 'Swansea' is everywhere!
Yes. The ascent out of Newhaven warrants extra bubbles in the ale. Adrian will sort out a smuggler's tunnel I expect.
