Schedule (provisional)
Note: although I have times suggested on these routes, please make sure you drive at your own pace and leave times for fuelling, etc. This is not a huge convoy - rather a bunch of people heading to/from the same places at similar times! I think the times are all doable within the speed limits - it's not a race!!!!
google map of the whole trip
* Thursday
Make your own way down to Walshy's on Thursday if you're doing the day on Friday.
Edinburgh to North Weald is 410 miles or so depending on chosen route.
Walshy will suggest somewhere to stay once we have numbers (there's a good B&B near by, but probably won't accomodate 10 of us, so may have to go Pikey lodge instead if the numbers swell).
* Friday:
09:00-16:00 at Walshy's (that's plenty, honest).
19:00 arrive Folkstone for crossing to Calais (120miles, allows conservative 3 hours to get to Eurotunnel port and board train - could be done in 2 if roads are OK).
19:00 disembark Calais (remember the clocks go back in this direction)
21:30 arrive Folembray (136miles, plus getting lost, etc.; arrive in plenty of time for beerage).
If you were going to skip the Walshy day, join us either at North Weald or in Folkstone or Calais as appropriate, just make sure someone is meeting you).
Paul will suggest somewhere to stay near Folembray.
* Saturday
09:00-17:00 at Folembray.
19:30 arrive Abbeville (105miles, plus getting lost, etc.; arrive in plenty of time for more beerage).
Paul will suggest somewhere to stay near Abbeville - the "hotel" at the track is basic, but the beer flows with cheapness.
* Sunday
09:00-15:30 at Abbeville [Note: you can stay longer, but you probably won't want to as Abbeville is fun, but small, and a good night's sleep at Snetterton depends on not leaving too late from here; trains run three times an hour, so you can adjust to suit yourself]
17:00 Calais crossing to Folkestone
19:00 disembark Folkestone (remember, the clocks go forward in this direction, so it takes ~2 hours total).
22:00 arrive Snetterton (150miles, plus getting lost, etc.; probably no beerage, so might make sense to eat en route and head straight to bed).
If you're joining us for Englandshire jaunt only, see you here!
Paul will suggest somewhere to stay near Snetterton.
* Monday
09:00-16:00 at Snetterton (it'll be getting dark by then anyway; I might need to leave earlier to get Rossini to Stanstead as he needs home earlier).
20:00 arrive Outlon Park (210miles but through some really busy parts of the country during rush hour).
I suggest we book a late table at the curry house in Northwich and stay at the travel inn place - the other option is the really great pub/b&b down the road where we've stayed and eaten before, but we'll need to be sure of arriving on time if we want to eat there - cannot remember what it's called - it's where Neil had the dodgy pint that year

. Big advantage is that we can park the cars, drink & eat at the same place. But a couple of Tacsi's aren't going to cost anything either.
* Tuesday
09:00-16:00 Oulton Park
22:00-ish arrive Edinburgh (240miles, plus fuel stop and perhaps some grub on the way or just scooby snacks from the petrol stations

).
