I have turned up three days early for the Channel Tunnel and they have charged me £20. On another occasion I turned up a day early and it cost me nothing. On the last occasion I turned up two hours early and they wanted to charge me £80. So, it varies. It just indicates that you are not locked into a fixed time and sometimes there is a low cost option for arriving early. The Cross Channel ferries are always cheaper than the Chunnel. I have just done a price comparison and for a specific time and date it would cost me £65 on the Channel Tunnel and £50 on the PO ferry. I prefer the channel Tunnel because in my experience the loading time and transit time is much shorter. Well worth the difference in cost. However, if you want a two hour break in your journey and a chance to relax and have a meal then the ferry would be a better choice for you. The Qudos hotel is right in the centre of Salisbury. From Pitton to your hotel is about 10kms. The public transport is awful as we are only a small village. Yes there are taxis. A motorcycling friend of mine is a taxi driver, I will let you have his number. I look forward to seeing you and Natasha in August. Are you planning to go to Wales where you bought your bike from? Regards Kevin

Alas I am unsure time and finances will allow me to get the Tr1 finished in time. I might consider coming on the Flying Anvil (XV750SE) if all else fails. As I used to work some summer festivals in Wiltshire I'd probably use our old route, A272 then A303. Cheers, Rant/Tom

I may try the tunnel this time. I´m actually considering going to Wales. Natascha prefers renting a house or a flat on or near the coast. Unfortunately Tregaron is far off the coast. So we will propably spend a week in Cornwall after our rally. Looking forward to see all of you in August. Regards Tim

Note: We can only use the Rally field from Friday to Monday morning. So, if anyone is planning to come early or stay late I will need to book you into the local campsite. It is very close to the Rally field, 500m, so not far away. I look forward to seeing you all in August. Regards Kevin

Can you please let me know if you are going to come. I need to arrange food for everyone. Also, as stated above I can only use the Village Green from mid-day Friday to mid-day Monday. If anyone wishes to arrive early or stay late then they cannot camp on the Green. I have arranged a block booking at our local campsite. It is only 500m from the Rally site. I would suggest you stay on the Village Green for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights but on the Campsite either side of those days. Any problems please contact me. kdemery@btinternet.com The Campsite is called the White Hill Caravan Park. Let me know if you want to stay there and I will pre-book for you. There is a map below to show how close it is to the Rally Site. The cost at the campsite is £10 per night for a small tent. I look forward to seeing you in August. Regards Kevin

Momentarily I`m not really sure whether I can join you all or not. This is because I quitted my Job at Postbank and start with at the VR Bank next monday. As you know we planned our holidays around the event. This will definetly not be possible, because I can not take two weeks off on the second month working. Furthermore I had a problem with the bike returning from the Cafe Racer Meeting last sunday that i could not take care of so far. So I don`t know whether this issue is a major one or not. I´m really sorry for this, but I hope you will understand. kind regards Tim

We plan to arrive on friday and stay till sunday or monday. Just to be curious: Why isnt it possible to use the campground already at thursday?

But seriously I do understand and hope you get your bike back together. There is an alternative: You could take a flight to Heathrow and hire car to come to the Rally. Then I could lend you my bike for the weekend. The offer is there for you if you would like to take it. All the best. Kevin

The reason why we cannot use the field on Thursday is because to use the Village Green I have to hire the Village Hall as well. It would have made the Rally cost too high. Especially as I did not know how many would arrive on Thursday or stay later. All the best. Kevin
