Was chatting to Barry & Darek on Sat and consensus was a 6.15am start on Thurs morning, I'd assumed that was from the Ace as the route goes East on A406, but no doubt Barry will post full details soon.

I've got the maps and destinations entered into Gertrude, plus a couple of ideas of which way to go - but I'm not spending any more time on that for the moment - too much to do, too little time!

I was thinking more about this side of the tunnel. No RV plans to my knowledge, but I've not been to the Ace for a few weeks, so may have missed the discussion. I think Barry's in charge of routes. Exit tunnel - turn left... or was it right?.... no, it was straight on...... Avoid all roads!  |

I'll bring my pump and I'm bringing a 2ltr bottle.
I've just discovered that carrying spare fuel is illegal here - not sure about France. Also, and slightly off topic, Folkestone Shuttle Terminal now puts bikes in a separate lane from the cars.This means that one can be sitting behind a barrier after all the cars have gone - very disconcerting if there's no member of staff in view. The barrier will go up, though, and the green light come on.  |

Not needed this time Steve.
Had them check my bearings last week at the 12k service. Still all ok.  JJ |

Thanks Mike but I was thinking more about this side of the tunnel.
More questions: 1. Who's got the routes 2. Anyone taking an air pump 3. On previous trips people (Colin and Laurie IIRC) took spare fuel bottles. Anyone thinking of doing the same? Just realised that my Bennetts insurance breakdown cover doesn't extend outside the UK so I'll have to get that sorted. Either find out what it'll cost to extend my existing AA Cover or see what Eurotunnel are offering. JJ |
