Bonjour, mes amis . Here we go then, proposed plans for the day.

 For those that like to convoy to the Shuttle, we'll meet at Notcutts travel down the M20 and pick up the 07:50 train - we need to check in 30 minutes beforehand so probably looking to be away from Notcutts no later than 06:45 . This then allows a little time at the terminal for those that need toilets / pick up newspapers / [C] / euros etc etc  The shuttle arrives at 09:25 local time. Proposal is to head south towards Boulogne on the A16 and there to pick up the N1 continuing south towards Samer and on to Montreuil . Stay on the N1 ,skirting the Crecy Forest ,before reaching our final destination Abbeville. The distance from the shuttle is around 70 miles so even allowing for a [C] en-route, we should be there by midday, in time for [pi] lunch and a bit of sightseeing.  If we aim to be away from Abbeville by 15/16:00 we could travel back perhaps stopping at Le Crotoy  (which has a fishing harbour / beach) or Crecy Forest (picnic areas) , before picking up the D940 coast road north via Le Touquet, Boulogne , Wimereux and ultimately the shuttle terminal. Would propose return journey on the 21:50 local time, arriving home at 21:25. Subject to the homeward run, we could probably factor in time for duty-frees. The plans can be fine-tuned on the day subject to the weather etc but generally I'm hoping we could stick very much to these proposals unless anyone can spot any glaring problems. If anyones unhappy on the day , you'll have your own tickets so will be free to go off independently. Last years trip went without any setbacks so no reason why we shouldn't have as much fun this year.  Hope this is useful for anyone planning to stop overnight. 

Would suggest that places be booked on the shuttle asap. The return costs should be £54 per car and occupants although don't know how this will be affected for anyone stopping overnight. Also bear in mind that the Tour de France is passing through Kent to Canterbury on the Sunday. If either of the proposed shuttles is full please book the next nearest one available and we'll regroup near the French terminal . Finally PLEASE make sure you have all your personal and car documents and other stuff that is required in place before we travel.

Merci.

Are you sure Dan?.......I've just been right the way thro the Eurotunnel on-line booking procedure, save for inputting my card details and its allowing me to book both outward and return journies without any problems. Will try to complete the booking when I get home from work and have my card to hand - will post up accordingly to let you know how I got on.

Tania asked if we had to lead again.....................explained this was all part of the 'fun of navigating' for the organiser, apart from which I was the only one with a map lol . Any way she'll get to use the 2-way radio again and be able to chat to Daniela. Can we muster up some radios for the day.....beg, steal, borrow??
