I will be there with my Citroën GS. Finnish RX-4 owner Antero will come along with me, he is flying to London by airplane and driving back with me. |

I think none of us has booked a ferry yet. The Doctor had already suggested taking the same ferries as you did last year in the euro convoy thread.

indeed, no boats booked yet. Same as last year sounds perfect! Dennismo found us a nice scenic route, which takes about an hour longer then the 'normal' route, but then we miss the M25 around London and A303 around Stonehenge (or whatever road passing there  , so should save some time. btw, Jürgen, are you planning on staying in Adinkerke again? |

I'm not sure I'll join your scenic route trip unless it is going to pass by some place that's reachable from London by public transport easily. I need to pick up Antero somewhere...

Adinkerke is a must, of course on thursday night and i think on monday night, too .... Scenic route sounds good, better than queuing up in the traffic jam; if we go the scenic route, will we meet the others again like last year ? |

i don't think so, but if i understood the convoy topic allright, they're going to leave earlier then last year anyway, which puts us in the 6am boat if we want to join (which i do NOT fancy!  ) Here's the route Dennis made: clickieSorry Jürgen, it's in Dutch!  At what time are you planning to arrive in Adinkerke? I do not want to do the same as last year, so i'll be leaving home earlier then 6pm |

we'll be leaving in the morning, so we could arrive there in the late afternoon , 4 -5 pm, like last year, remember i was the first one there  it all depends on the traffic of course, the car should be troublefree ( i was so desperate to do anything to the Passat today, so i washed it a there is nothing broken...) ... 6 AM is a bit early, i must look in the ferry schedule .... i remember being almost alone on the Autobahn last year, only bigger traffic was round brussels, anything else was really nice ... |

Can I suggest a really minor shift of point B?? Then I can pick up Antero from Redhill railway station. Of course I can also go there alone, and seeing as the distance is so small I'd probably even be able to catch up with you guys again. Slightly modified route |

to me it isn't a problem Siert! Friday is just an arrival day, so it's just a relaxed trip up to Haynes Museum. But 4-5 pm at adinkerke sounds good to me! Arrive - beer - put up tent - bbq - more beer |

Yeah and Adinkerke is only 476km from my parents place which is easily doable in one day so I won't need to stay over at Berend's place.
It's 507km through Eindhoven which isn't that big a d-tour so I can still pick-up Berend if he needs a ride.
