Are you going over by coach from Dover ?
its our first time to France as well, so definitely counting down the days and cant wait...
driving to Dover mid afternoon, and find a decent bar with grub till the coach arrives, sounds
like a good way to pass the time !!

There's a cab firm that operates in the car park at Dover , USE IT , and book one for the way back .
Don't be late coz they won't wait, it's a fair old trek to the nearest boozer ,
Most peeps just buy beers from the offy down the road and sit in the car park .

I found this 'old' version of the site which still has the bailiff diarys on, I wouldn't suggest using it for paying balance etc but at least the old info is there!

Its as broad as it is long (bit like me !!) chelmsford or Dover, but probably a better run to Dover
and cant beat a bit of 'fresh' Fish and chips, out the paper on the beach whilst waiting - stink of vinegar all the way over

Thanks for the info, is the Relyon car-park where we transfer to the coach ? and where i leave my van for the week ?, and is it not next to the ferry terminal ???
Wasn't thinking we would need a cab for any reason - other than beer and chips !!!
Aiming to get to Dover for mid afternoon - leave the van, and go 'sightseeing' in the local boozer, then back to the van to transfer the gear to the trailer around 10-00pm ? and get my head down on the coach till we arrive....
we could be in Dover for 6-7 hours eagerly waiting for the coach to turn up - better early than late eh !!

If I remember back to 2006 correctly, we walked down to the coast in about 15 / 20 mins

The car park is where you leave your van and transfer gear to the coaches.

Wouldn't leave it till 10.00 pm Like Ralph said the coach can be there from 9.00pm onwards I wouldn take the risk.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
