Quidco.co.uk

Not sure yet to be honest. Need to speak to Jim who Im going with.

 

[dmallett]

People that are coming, we need to book ASAP as ferry availability is getting low and prices are going up.

Also Andy, i cant seem to find any way of cashback from that site? lol

 

[andywa]

Sorry should have said you have to register. P and O are offering4% and DFDS are offering upto 7%.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Book tonight Dan?

 

[LewisTaylor]

I'll book at weekend, let me know what time we are crossing and who with

 

[dmallett]

Book tonight Dan?

Sorry didn't see that! Ill do it tonight

If we go for 9am out there and about 4pm back? That good for everyone

Only other option for going out there is at 3.30am lol.

 

[Rhys Beal]

I don't mind what time we go tbh.

Are we planning on driving to Dover on the Thursday night and spend the night in a cheap b+b/hotel then catch the ferry in the morning?

Drop me a text Dan when you are planning to book

I'd be better with driving down friday morning tbh, otherwise will clash with my work. If we met around Newmarket/Fourwentways for about 4:30-5am we should easily be at Dover for 8 ish, would pay to leave that bit earlier as after 6am, the M25 is a nightmare.

 

[Rhys Beal]

That suits me Lewis and tbh I will be available for whatever is easiest for others.

 

[dmallett]

WHAT A PAIN!!!

So i booked, and then the return ferry was full lol.

Luckily i could cancel it, anyway you can do group booking via the phone which im happy to sort out on friday.
Also it looks as if Dover to Dunkirk is alot less busy and has more times available. Dont know the pro's and con's of going to Dunkirk, but according to my google maps we would drive through/past there anyway!

Let me know what you want to do!

 

[dmallett]

 

[Breamy]

Have used the dunkirk ferry a few times. better then calais imo. 30 mins close to the ring and from the port you drive straight onto the motorway

 

[dmallett]

Cheers mate, think we shall go with that then! Only adds 10minutes to the journey according to google maps

 

[LewisTaylor]

Dan would be appreciated if you could do a group booking, i can bank transfer you the money, least then we all know we're booked on the same ferry, how much will it be i'll get in touch with my mate with the fiesta ST

 

[dmallett]

Its look at £62, if we leave at 6am and return at 18.01pm

Obviously ill need peoples Full names, Reg Plate and Date of birth too.

Ill give them a call tomorrow and check the availability for those dates and times!

 

[Dan519]

don't worry about booking a later ferry, just turn up early and you'll almost always get on

 

[Rhys Beal]

When are we possible looking at doing a group booking?

 

[dmallett]

Friday as that's Lewis 's payday

 

[LewisTaylor]

Well Thursday is, but I'm working then

 

[Rhys Beal]

Friday it is then

 

[Rhys Beal]

Friday it is then

 

[dmallett]

£60 per car. Dover to Dunkirk.
6am ferry there. 6pm ferry back.

Lots of space left and they're open Friday so I can book then

 

[dmallett]

All booked Need to be there at 5am lol. Also return journey is at 16.00 hours now due to availabilities.

All tickets etc will come to mine as she only asked for 1 address, hope thats ok

 

[LewisTaylor]

That's fine i can trust you we need to sort out who takes what now as i spoke to you both earlier, i'm suggesting i take the following:

- Tool kit - i have the halfords 150 piece kit which is perfect.
- Trolley Jack - i have the clark low one so it can easily get under any car.
- I also have a bolts box with a variety of everything.
- Spares i have a coil pack, leads, plugs.

 

[Rhys Beal]

Thanks once again Dan

I assume that we are taking three tents?

And I have a few other bits like cooking equipment for frying, boiling and bbq.

I can also bring a compressor that goes onto your battery to pump tyres up and also some spare fluids in general.

Not sure yet whether to drive on my road tyres and take the track tyres then change them or not bother?

 

[LewisTaylor]

I don't have a tent yet need to get one lol

 

[Rhys Beal]

They are cheap enough, mine was free

 

[dmallett]

Ill take whatever my mates got a tent we should be taking.

 

[Chri5]

Glad to see things getting under way!

I should book our ferry soon, not sure whether to get 6am one or 8am at the moment, although plan for me and my mate is to arrive at the ring Friday late afternoon early evening, after having a little drive about on the way!

Save us a pitch

 

[Rhys Beal]

We will indeed

BBQ will be on ready.......

 

[dmallett]

This will be epic!!!

Been in halfotds, they sell a decent size electric/ 12v cool box for £40. Ill probably get one before we go

 

[LewisTaylor]

Nice one! I need my 12v socket working before then :/

 

[Jane]

Gutted I cant come to this, hope you guys have a great time! If anyone wants to go after June let me know

 

[andywa]

I may yet be coming on my own . But going non the less.

 

[LewisTaylor]

No worries, i'd get the Ferry booked asap! When we were booking, 2 of the time slots we were discussing last week sold out, spaces are running out...

[dmallett]
