OUTWARD JOURNEY
RBLRB Member Jimmy writes
For those going or thinking of going on Swiss Tour 31st
August to 6th Sept
I have made the following booking that may suit you:
Ferry cost including credit card fee and cancellation insurance £56.60p
Taking perhaps more interesting routes than motorway, and allow for
unforeseen changes such as diversions,
and minor breakdowns i.e. puncture, bad weather, being pulled over by police
etc
Note: Others have booked the same out going trip
Booked via:
www.directferries.com
Outward: Dover to Dunkirk 30th August 12:00hrs
NB: you must collect tickets and be ready to board 1hr before departure
time.
Return: Dunkirk - Dover 06.01 am Sunday morning 7th of September.

Tips from BAR Members
Phil & Andy Suggest that if you are going over Dijon or Geneva
then
Dijon in FORMULA 1 - Cost approx 27 Euros
FORMULA 1
Beaune
just south of Dijon
A very picturesque city in the Burgundy wine region.
Andy's recommendation is not stopping in one of the numerous hotels just off the
motorway in what looks like an industrial park
for hotels, but to continue
to the city centre and use one of the many hotels there,
although dearer
the city is worth a visit and he spent many a pleasant evening there.
Beaune
GRAND SAINT JEAN (AU) * *
Cost approx 48 Euros
18 rue du Faubourg Madeleine.
Or other
Hotels in the Beaune region
