I could get to Paddington for 9.17 (providing there are not track repairs and bus replacements). Megabus site won't work for me at the moment.

Re: Sorry can't do it. (none / 0)

That'd put you at Migs just before 11:00.

Which'd mean a 2:00 sailing (assuming there is one) which'd mean 4:00 leave Calais. Arriving in Paris about 6:00. Yes, I appreciate these are worst case timings and the threat of engineering works is a real and serious threat over a bank holiday, but anything could wreck these and make them much worse whilst very little is likely to improve them.

Can you come Friday ?

keep to the Fen Causeway

That's all rather horrible. I probably can come over on the friday although I may not arrive until late. I forget where you live/your nearest station?
Alternative is to stay with a friend/family member in London and leave for Leyton early morning from there.

You can stay with us on Friday - that's not a problem.

Re: Sorry can't do it. (none / 0)

If you are sure, that would probably be a good solution.

Oh, I am. You're one of very few active UK ETers who haven't been over :-P

Re: Sorry can't do it. (none / 0)

ok, thank you! In that case all that remains is finding a cheap park bench for Paris nights. I've been hindered by a tempermental net connection at work in searching for B&B's hotels etc.

I'm guessing I can leave Jonathan in Geezer's boat for a couple of nights... Geezer?

We could also camp outside Paris...

Youth hostels, maybe?

Re: Sorry can't do it. (none / 0)

Yes youth hostels suit me fine. Quick look shows it won't come to more than 43 euro for the two nights, per person.

Book early, May 5th is in the middle of one of the famed French long weekends (Thursday is Labor day, many are taking Friday off, some will come touring in Paris) ; and it's in the middle of a two-weeks school vacation...
