The 4th Waltham Forest College ride out.
July 24th 2011
Meet at the Euro Tunnel Folkestone terminal(duty free shopping toilets food etc) Building no later than 8.30 am (Last Booking in time is 8.50am ) for the 9.20am crossing (35mins) £28 return.
Please make sure you a have a full tank of fuel.Also check with your bank/credit card company to make sure your cards are activated for use in France as many petrol stations will be shut and take only cards when shut.Major towns and toll roads will have fuel stations open.
From the French side we will head south on the D940 coast road towards Boulogne.This road is a stunner once passed Sangatte with some great views over to the white cliffs of Dover and a series of hairpins and hills that make Laguna Seca look tame!! .We are open to ideas of what to do and where to go after reaching Boulogne.
At the first of several 2nd WW Mueseums on the D940 there is a cafe to stop and get a drink etc where we can plan the rest of the day.
We need to be back for check in at Euro Tunnel Calais by 19.50 for the 20.20 departure( French time which is 1 hour in advance of us)Arriving at Folkestone at 19.55 UK Time.
Please book direct with Euro Tunnel and be quick as many crossings are fully booked.
Cheers
