Closest i can get is depart out 06:20 which gets me there for around 06:55 uk time and departure return @ 19:50  couldnt possibly expect Dabitch to drag herself outta bed at around 04:30 so id be solo and waiting on french soil until you guys arrive at around 09:15 uk time (2hrs 20mins)
Unless i do the ferry route an meet you guys over there
which works out this way
Outward Dover - Calais Sat 15 Sep 2007 06:25 arrive 08:45
Return Calais - Dover Sat 15 Sep 2007 19:45 arrive 20:15 |

Pete that don't sound to bad for timing, the one thing i really don't want to be doing is hanging around if peeps miss the train/plane/ferry then as far as i am concirned tough titty, we are only going to be there for the day and i don't want to be sitting around waiting.
that goes for me too, if for any reason i miss anything then i don't expect anybody to be hanging around waiting for me (famous last words)

Pete - scenario - 8 riders - 100 miles - Polish border - MTR + 3 persuaders - guy without passport allowed into Poland - Eurotunnel - Slappy buys ticket - slots into group - piece of cake  |

No, they've still got lots more planning to do yet. Matt still hasn't worked out the size of everyone tank and there fuel consumption to work out optimum fuel stops. He hasn't wrote down what everyone wants for lunch so he can ring through the order. And, he need a list of who has sugar in the tea so he can e-mail the tea stops |

Trust me - book it and turn up with all the others - be there between the time you are going and the time they are going (more than two hours adrift and they will charge you extra) or book a later crossing than them but turn up and get your later ticket early with them. Just go with the others (making sure your are not first - first guy says to check in that you are all together on the same train) to the next section where you wait for the train and make sure your ticket is obscured.
For example last Sunday
Booked on the 18:43 return
got to the tunnel @ 18:40
Machine spat out a variety of train times and letters for the three of us - mine was 20:20
Completely ignored this and we all got the 19:20
Happens every time - train was half full/empty
