UK meeting 2009

[antonio carroccio]

just had a quick look at Irish Ferries Holyhead to Dublin coming out at between £44 - £54 one way

Yep, me too. And Calias-Dover isn't that expensive. About 75,- Euro.

About Hoek van Holland -Harwich 165,- Euro

 

<_ get to think about it.>

 

Say Guy, your offer's still available?

[Guzzirider]

Sure Antonio!

 

We will be travelling to Ireland probably on the Thursday or Friday- maybe the Holyhead to Dublin crossing, then riding up to Ulster. Alternative is riding to Stranraer and taking the crossing to Belfast and riding down.

 

Will decide in the New Year- you are of course welcome to stop over at our place.

I see that we have some competition: Ulster Rally 2009

 

 

And the Czech brothers are considering the matter:

If someone is happy to lend me a rally prepped Subaru I'd be more than happy to take part in that as well!

"The date for the 2009 Ulster Rally is Friday 21st / Saturday 22nd August"

Sometimes you confuse me...

I just mean competition for the name 'Ulster Rally' (not the date)

 

Mind you, there have been many different types of 'Ulster rallies', but I'll not go into that!

Are we safe to go ahead and book ferries in the New Year BFG?

 

Cheers

Yes indeed. There is enough interest and the accommodation booking is pencilled in at the moment.

 

I was looking at the date countdown the other day and it's nearly down to 150 days.

When I put the page up it was 200 days. A quarter of the time has passed and it really doesn't seem like long ago!

Since the doctor says the injuries from my accident will probably take 6 months to heal, my participation is looking doubtful (see post in 24/7 Section of the forum).

 

I hope to make one of these meets eventually.

[tikkanen]

Hi Orson :-)

 

Good to hear that you're alive. Van said that you crashed big time down in South Africa so I was worried about you.

 

Cheers

Here's my plan for the UK Meeting:

I decided to do some site seeing in England before the meeting in NI. I'm going to take the Hoek van Holland-Harwich ferry on the 18th. Then across England (Yorkshire, Lake District) to Stranrear. There I will take the ferry to Belfast on the 21st. I will leave NI early morning on the 25th and will be on the Newcastle-IJmuiden ferry that afternoon.

 

As far as I can tell now my better half isn't coming. But who knows, plans can change.

There is video of a ride along the shore road at Portaferry, in the Travel Forum

As well as trying MCN discounts, there may be no harm asking these people, Nutt Travel, for a quote.
