The Place

Portsmouth / Caen is an overnight for van's, am I right RP?

We usually go (with a Merc Sprinter) at either 8.45am arriving at Caen 3.00pm (local time) or 3.15pm arriving at Caen 9.30pm (local time). The house is another hour by road. There is an overnight ferry leaving 11.15pm arriving 7.15am (local time).

Thanks RP, defo interested, I'm rubbish with my French, but Daniel is quite fluent in English?

You can also go Portsmouth - Le Havre according to AA its 280 of your English miles to LL.

Yep, we have been via Le Havre and Cherbourg too

Who is thinking of doing this?

We are

Don't know. Sounds like a great event but would be a long way to go if it all goes a bit wrong. How far from the ferry port is it? The shorter the crossing the better!

triplebrew,
Its about 280 miles from Le havre or almost 9 laps of the TT, a mere bagatelle as they say,anyway its not going to go wrong is it?

Is anyone doing this? This is the last day for submitting your entries.

I've had an email this morning asking to publicise the event so I've a feeling they're not closing entries just yet.

Bit of a coincidence. Here is the link again:

Just a shame it is this early in the year or i would have loved to do this

Do they do another one later in the year??

There is this one which we did in 2006:
