meeting up for belguim trip

Grumpy · 13-09-2008, 02:09 PM

As those involved in the trip to Belguim are aware, we were planning to meet up at the services off the M20 by Maidstone and then travel togeather down to the Eurotunnel in one group.
Can I suggest that as the M20 could still possibily be used for operation stack, on saturday, that we meet at the service's on the M2 near Canterbury instead? This would also put use the right side of Dover for entering the port.

Meet at M2 services at The Farthing Corner Services if you want. I guess we cannot say a time as of this minute but would assume it would be around 7.30-8.00 if getting 10.00 ferry.

We need to be at ferry 1 1/4 hours before sailing - 8.45am

Not sure how long it'll take to get to Dover from the services?

Albie · 13-09-2008, 10:54 PM

45 mins tops. We need to be leaving M2 services by 8.00 so meet from 7.30 onwards please

alan c · 14-09-2008, 03:50 PM

Albie · 14-09-2008, 04:53 PM

You will be only going past it on the way to scrapps so you will not meet us there.

Don't understand Albie, I'm in Whitstable the night before. I thought Canterbury was on the way which is alleged to be near the services at the top of the thread. I'm still following scrapps

Grumpy · 14-09-2008, 06:23 PM

see you guys at 7.30am.....

I think there will have to be 2 groups.
1st meeting on the M2 services then meeting those staying with Scrapps.
It would be silly driving 20 odd miles the wrong way up the M2 for the meet, then going back to the coast.
Will need to speak to Scrapps to arrange a pick up point on the way through.
