Mad dash to the Ring

Post by **PhilT** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 3:08 pm

Had a silly idea....

Hoverspeed are offering day returns (24hrs between leaving and returning) from Dover to Calais for £25 during March.

Here are the opening times for the Ring:
16 su 9.00 - 18.00
17 mo 13.00 - 18.30
18 tu 17.45 - 18.30
19 we 17.45 - 18.30
20 th 17.45 - 18.30
21 fr 14.15 - 18.30
23 su 8.30 - 18.30
24 mo 13.00 - 18.30
25 tu 17.45 - 18.30
26 we 17.45 - 18.30
27 th 17.45 - 18.30
29 sa 18.00 - 19.00
30 su 8.00 - 19.00
31 mo 13.00 - 19.00

Plan: Get crossing early in morning, drive straight to the Ring, spend day/afternoon at ring, drive back to Calais, stay overnight pick up some booze and get crossing back again.....

Anyone interested? [img]images/graemlins/spineyes.gif[/img]

I would probably go as a passenger (want to keep the miles down at the mo).
I could even navigate AROUND Brussels [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

I would have offered, but seeing as you have mentioned Brussels.... BTW - Brussels is not between Calais and the Ring [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
