France Weekend Trip - June 26th - 27th
The details so far are as follows:
Start Date: Saturday 26th June
Meeting Point: M20 Junction 11 Services
Meeting Time: 7:30am (subject to change)
Channel Crossing: Folkestone Eurotunnel
Departure Time: 8:30am (subject to change)
Return Date: Sunday 27th June
Return Time: 21:30 (subject to change)
The Weekend
The weekend trip will take us along the French Coastline in a southerly direction towards the town of Le Havre, along a range of B style roads with a number of stops along the way.
Once we arrive at our hotel and booking in for the night, there will be a period of time between 7:00-9:00 where you can choose to eat with us as a group or do your own thing. At 10:00 - 12:00pm a lonley drivers club will be going for a rapid night drive on the local roads. The time frame may change depending on how tired everyone is after the day of driving.
A Google Map has been created and will be updated as time progresses. Our exact route will not be placed on here however the key points will be. This is to ensure the drive is more of an 'adventure' for those who have not driven in France, or these specific roads before.
You can view the map here.

Keep 'em coming - it will be great to see some of you guys again from last year as we had such a good time in spite of the dodgy weather so hopefully this time things will be even better!

I'll put my name down for this, but it's not definite and will depend on finances. Personally I'm looking for as much intense/fast driving as possible, I'm not to fussed about stopping or visiting POI's (that's what you go on holiday with the misses for!)
