  3. I think I'll probably join you.
    Given I have a 4.5 - 5 hour ride to get there, the 10:50 departure with @bradders and @Pete1950 is a bit early for me!
     
  4. The one I booked was the earliest available.

  5. Have the earlier slots all gone?? I may book the later one too then, as it’s only 3hrs for me...
     
  6. Calais to Cochem is about 300 miles, by the way, so leave enough time to get there on 8 April.
     
  7. I have now booked into the hotel arrive 8/4 depart 13/4, so 5 nights.

  9. Hi All

    Have booked a hotel in Cochem, not Nos as full up I gather, will book tunnel later, but prob go earlier than you lot, it is weather dependant for me though, it can snow that early around there.

  10. Weather dependant for me too. Got close to 800 miles to get there, so snow would be a show stopper for sure.

  11. You won’t be alone.
     
  12. I have also provisionally booked the hotel, can always cancel if I can't make it.. I will travel with Brett, we normally get an 8.30-9ish train.

  14. TBH you have to be really careful in France now days, far more cameras very tight tolerances, stupid speed limits on motorways from tunnel etc. and you will get a notice in post.
     
  15. did see quite a few in France that had been set on fire at some point, seems they are as popular as they are here :scream:
     
  16. @Dave Have you touched base with Tim?
     
  17. There seems to be earlier slots than 12:20 available.

    Calais to Cochem is about 6-7 hours with stops if I remember correctly.

    I think on balance I’ll set off from home on Tues evening 7th and stop overnight at Fleet Premier Inn so that I only have a couple of hours ride to the Eurotunnel on the morning of Wed 8th. That way I can get an earlier train and not arrive in Cochem dead late in the evening.
