Northern Ireland 2016

[fnuseless]

I can be on hand to meet you off the boat if needed. Arrive in Larne about 3-30ish, be in Coleraine for 4-30-5-00ish.

Nope you shouldn't miss much on the Friday arriving in at that time plus it aint that long a ride up to Coleraine on the bike.

And TallyB will have u sorted if needed

The bike will be in the van coming over, might get it dirty

Premier Inn booked today

thats ok just read previous post.
hope the prem inn aint sticking arm in since they heard of rally{armoy}

[fieldsheer]

£140 for the two nights (I think as Jackie made the booking) so about normal.
The Lodge Hotel would have been £220 for two nights but it does look a bit posher and closer.

Looking forward to the rally so best get the ferry booked next.

As far as the ducks go they were caught heading over the Tay Bridge OUT OFF Angus covering their ar*es.

We've not decided one or two bikes as yet to try both 500's in the van. To ride over would be good as the road from to Stranraer and then Larne to Coleraine are both cracking rides (we were over 2002ish on the Thunderbird) but cost a fortune in petrol and oil and they might get dirty.
What bike are you taking? Is it a Kawasaki Triple or are they too much for you now?

... did the north-east lads decide on ferry dates/times ?.....bikes or trailers ?...or are we waiting for global warming to kick in

...( I think we started talking about it on the pizza night - but got side tracked... )

Nothing definite decided yet Paul but which ever way will only be taking bikes on ferry so I don't think there will be a booking issue .As I recall the plan was to get ferry Thursday morning I think there is a classic meet on Thursday night and return on Sunday morning the last time I looked the ferry was 40 quid each way .Any input welcome.

hi guys i had a look on p&o web site and stenaline

P&O was £37.50 each way bike and rider into larne

Stenaline is £40 each way bike and rider into belfast

Not a big difference on distance to coleraine.
Stena is a better boat to be stuck on but takes a bit longer much better facilities compared to P&O.

Stena boat is about 30 mins longer as it sails up belfast lough.

these should give you latest prices on either ferry

you can so into Larne or Belfast .
Belfast {stenaline } takes longer but is a much better boat

[g6mow]

All booked up and ready to go. Looking forward to it.

£60 return P&O into Larne, bargain !!!!!

[Cheno]

Just done a search £75 for me???? Did you get pensioners or disabled discount

... just done various date searches on "cheapferry" & P & O site I can't get price below £75 either Chris...foot passengers come out at £54 return.........Simon you have booked a motorcycle on as well haven't you ?

...looking at times for us on the Thursday there's 04:00 - 07:30 - 10:30 from Cairnryan to Larne

...then coming back - 10:30 - 13:30 on the Sunday........any preference's Chris/Malc

[Triple Parts]

Just booked ferry and hotel.

If you are using the P&O website they advertise a 20% discount for early booking, but if you put the code in it doesn't seem to work. Just ring the freephone number and they will take the booking with discount.

Paul

I'm going to go on Friday morning probably on the 10:30 same as the North West boys and return on the 10:30 on the Sunday morning.
Chris was undecided when I spoke to him this morning and no one else has said they are going as yet.

...Malcolm - are you riding up & over ...or trailering up to Stranraer ?

...

[Malcolm]

Unless it's totally Scorchio I'll trailer over to Stranraer as it's a boring 3 hour drive

[fnuseless]

i think you struck lucky Si

It doesn't work on the P&O website if you put the discount code in for a bike, but if you ring them they will apply it and book it over the phone for you. I did it today, bike and two passengers £103 reduced from £129.
Go on the website, get the code and ring the freephone number. Explain that you are having problems booking online so they don't charge you the normal telephone booking fee.


...

dead right - website wont accept code - did the free-phone all booked Friday 10.30 - Sunday 16.30 return .... 60 quid
