We've just got back from the France 2007 Rally. We got to Calais a bit early, and were offered an earlier crossing. Being antisocial, we took it!
Edit: We do have a cancer charity do to go to tonight, and we thought an earlier ferry would give us more time to negotiate London traffic!
We had a great time on the rally. The site was superb, the weather was great (although chilly in the night), and we met old and new friends there. Sorry, Russell - in the confusion of setting off, we forgot to say goodbye to you and Oscar, as well as many others.
Thanks, MandyandDave for organising it. Very well done!

It's OK Stew, Bob & Pauline got on the next boat OK - we rang them ( several times ) and when we last spoke to them , they were driving through Dover- we'll call them later.
At the mo, having half unpacked the mh, the washing machine going, I'm on my first (of many ) cool glass of French White
Great trip (apart from the sheer incompetence of someone and the inability of the French end to sort it )
thanks to M&D for organising it .
My apologies for blubbing on the boat

LOL, don't worry about blubbing, it was totally understandable, worrying about your friends left behind.
Hi Andrew, we got to the ferry port and was sent to one side by the girl at the check in. Apparently SeaFrance has messed up their accounts and whilst we could show them proof of payment maintained that The MHF group had underpaid by £3000!! Hard when the total bill only came to £1600.
By showing tremendous aggression and threatening behavoir (after sensible negotiation was getting us nowhere the three vans were allowed on after we each paid 150 euros. We will be talking to Sea France on Monday.
Hi Gerald
Oscar, after his operation on Thursday was almost back to his normal self this morning and even his tail was up in the air.
Thanks to Mandy and Dave for organising another trip to France. Despite the hickups it was a great week with glorious sun.
We have arrived back at Eddis house. What a great week. Thanks MAD for another succesfull rally. Looking forward to the next one. See you all at Peterborough.

What about the one on the boat???
Also many thanks to Mandy & Dave. We had a great time and appreciated the help for first timers. It was nice to put faces to names although a bit hard to remember real names and usernames.
Thanks for the eggs Dave, they were all they were cracked up to be!!!
Thanks for the guided tour of Calais Mike!
Thanks everybody else for good company.
Roll on Peterborough.
Frances & Tony
