Mrs H Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 So general consensus is that we drive down and stay over near Dover on the Tuesday night and get the morning ferry so we can be in Le Mans for early afternoon on the Wednesday. Is this ok for everyone so we can book accommodation and ferry tickets? Getting giddy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought we were going to go with the travel down to Dover on the Wednesday night and stay over for a early ferry on the thursday.

The thinking behind it Mike is to get a good spot on wednesday afternoon ? just thought we was lucky last year to get a spot, unless people cant get the time off work on the Wednesday or late Tuesday kinda thing Cheers -Ian- Edited February 17, 2011 by Ian Ian added info (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I will be in attendance at lemans this year Although you might not want me in a Supra convoy, as im going ( if its finished!) in my 'Eleanor' mustang replica. But be sure to say Hi if you see me/the car around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got a 7 AM ferry on the thursday we would be down in le mans for a little after lunch. I cant really afford any more days off work and Amanda only has these days as a special circumstance and they are not allowed holidays in June at all. Would be a shame to have to convoy down there on our own but understand if you guys want to go earlier. Will just have to ensure the refurn ferry is at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian, have you got any Ferry time and prices for the early morning crossings? Ste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sted Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just been on P&O ferry's and there is a Ferry on Thursday 9Th June at 8.10am for £39 and £35 for the the return at 11.20am on Monday which is £74 all in. Or there is an earlier one at 7.20am which is £60, so this with the same return will come in at £95. I think the 8.10am crossing but I'll go with what every one else thinks. Ste.
