So......
sail on the 10.25am crossing - P&O Ferries, Dover to Calais, Sunday 17th April.
Stay in Adenau for 6 nights - Sunday 17th - Friday 22nd April inclusive. (Awaiting details of hotel and final cost).
Awaiting details of ferry crossing from Calais to Dover - Saturday 23rd April - Chris, any idea as to which crossing time?
Good idea Shaz - a group booking for the hotel gives confirmation as to those going.
ok me birthday today so short on time will send Pm's tom :)
Want to get this sorted next week so we all know what's happening, I have booked the time off so will be going regardless

This is only and hour or so from the ferry port and is a fantastic place to stay at, it also means you don’t have a massive long day in terms of mileage to get to ferry then onwards to home. <o:p></o:p>

Dover - Saturday 23rd April 11am crossing (I went to check the posted time and the damn P&O site is down)<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Does that sound a plan ?
<o:p> </o:p>
I’m thinking if we do it this way then everyone can just book it (once I get info from P&O site). I’m thinking I will post meeting times at several points on 17th with the final one at petrol station as you enter Dover from moterway.

This way if somene has to drop out or wants to extend their hols elswhere they can with out affecting the rest of the group.
<o:p> </o:p>
It will once the hassle of booking is done be a fantastic bike holiday

Matt is from Veldhoven (Holland) and have sent a Pm as he said if it could be arranged we go to his for a barbie . If this were to happen I was thinking either to go to his second last night or the last night.
If we do it also then we can all chip in for beer/food
I'm more leaning to second last night as it is still a long journey from his to ferry and rather not have the hassle as the moterwayys can get very busy. I stayed in 2009 at Antwerp and missed the ferry due to being held up on the very busy roads.
As long as the ferry is booked then the rest is optional
I have sent the "I'm going" lot a pm if I have missed you please Pm me and I'll send message on.

Return Calais-Dover 23rd April 11.20
In Germany I have a guide sorted for taking us on some really good roads and to look after us . Holland is a Barbie courtesy of Matt and some beers, he said plenty room at his so I think that's fab.
Biker loft is one of a kind and you park your bike outside your own hotel door but it's still inside . It has a fab bar and usualy has live bands on at weekends sometimes.
Hope this all sounds good to everyone
I have booked all mine now also just need to tell mate in Germany hotel what rooms we need and all done
I just need to sort what to do on 16th as coming down with 3 bikes and 4 people. Choices choices
