Hi, for those who are going i was wondering what your plans are as im planning on going just we're not sure if people are going early or driving there and back the same day.

as im getting some ideas because its in the middle of the week and that means iv gotta take some time off college

Nothing is confirmed yet George, bear that in mind when making plans! I won't know until after the 23rd of jan, which I admit, leaves little time. Unfortunately that's the way it's worked out, I started sending emails asking for a trip about 9 months ago...

thought id make a thread so we could chat about it if Citroen lets us go

I'm hoping they do, fingers crossed...

How are you planning on getting there?

Fire the Dyane up, George!

OH yes the beast Dyane shall be my transport but ill be bring me dad along as he would drive through France because iv not had much experience on the roads yet , if im get my insurance next week *fingers crossed*
but ill im sure he will let me drive a bit in France

I'm reckoning on taking the ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge overnight on the 10th arriving first thing on 11th and driving the 179 miles to the Conservatoire for the 2pm start.
Can't see me making it back to Zeebrugge in time for a ferry back that night so I'll be having a nights kip somewhere and a gentle, meandering drive back on the 12th.
The other option is shopping for the cheapest flight Charles de Gaule from East Midlands and hiring a car there, but where's the fun in that?

I was thinking about going on the train from st pancras I think it was about £120 return for me and my dad when I checked a while ago

Just checked Norfolkline and to go out at 8am and return at 8pm, they want £47. If I get to Dunkirk for 11am local time, that gives me 3hrs to get to Aulnay. If I use the Peage, will take 3hrs, so will be cutting it a bit fine ........... Think I'll scrap that idea Perhaps leave Blighty at 6am then.

P & O are doing Day trip ferry tickets for £19 (with free wine and Bogof meals)

But maybe driving 200 miles to Paris and then back is a lot to do in a day.
