Oops, sorry I had forgot all about that. I am afraid we will not be able to go on that either. Do I owe you anything for the cancellation?

No, nothing paid for yet! I was just checking before crossing you off the list

is there any chance of squeezing me on the coach trip please? (plus a fold up powerchair) no dog..
quite fancy going abroad for the day..

 

[Wildge]

Please @Mr Chrysalis are you in a position to confirm a departure time for this trip as a lot of people may be restricted to 'off-peak' travel on trains etc......eg. after 9.30am?
Thanks Jude

I’ll check the fares and see if it makes a difference. 0930 am does not sound too late to travel

Suggest waiting until coach times confirmed & any other options explored but we do have a Fun 10% discount code for the ferry crossing now courtesy of Wightlink There is still also the option of using Tesco Clubcard vouchers for those that have spare ones.
If & when ready to book don't forget to go to Wightlink via Quidco for possible 4.5% cashback & use discount code
SP18FUNCLU - it is working now & valid for bookings for car & foot passengers from 10th-20th August.
Will post this on a separate thread too as may be some not coming to Lymington Rally who may find this helpful.

Are we supposed to be booking ferry individually ?
...and then meet up at the coach??

Please bear with me, just pricing up the options.

@Mr Chrysalis & us Wombles have been exploring all the possible options so will hopefully will have best ones available soon - group rate from Wightlink isn't as good as individual rate less 10% discount for example & some will want to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers plus have been exploring some more off the wall options!

 

[Langtoftlad]

Wait'n'see
I'm good at prevaricating
Thanks

UPDATE - when I searched online in November & emailed Wightlink the best discount on foot passenger fares was 10% via AA & C&CC but checking today it looks like they have now increased that to 15% so have emailed Wightlink again to ask them to increase the discount for the above Fun code.
If anyone is a Blue Badge holder then there is 25% discount for foot passengers already in place via the website http://www.wightlink.co.uk/go/discounts/offer/up-to-25-discount-for-blue-badge-holders/
For anyone thinking of taking their motorhome to the Isle Of Wight understand that both C&CC & C&MC offer up to 50% discount plus worth checking campsite, Wightlink & Red Funnel deals as often combined camping & ferry works out a better deal overall. Know some clubs get excellent rally deals outside peak season so something we may be looking at for another time

I will add you on the next update later this week

 

[dryad]

the blue badge option sounds good, have had mine for about 15 years now (renewed every 3 obviously in case anyone misconstrues) would rather be in a position not have one, but thats life..

Hi Wombles

Would it now be possible to put a summary ie the day of coach trip to Isle of Wight and how this would work in conjunction with Wightlink Ferries. If we do have to book our own ferries then I think we would need to know for what day. I am sure there are others who would be interested. Thanks for all your hard work which I am sure is appreciated by all of us going on the trip. Thanks, Peter

Hi again Wombles

Sorry I'm having a senior moment at least I think that's what they call it! I now see from the list the of participants the time of the trip and departure. I think the list got lost among all the other emails and I did not see it first time. Peter

 

[fairford rambler]

Hi. Really good idea about your ferry and coach booking together as one booking, so yes please put us down for that as well ( coach and ferry ) we are already booked on the coach. Peter

Hi - although the planned day is Monday 13th August for the group ferry & coach trip it's easy to pop over to the Isle Of Wight anyday as a foot passenger using Wightlink & can take bikes for free - the terminal is just a short walk from our rally field @Mr Chrysalis is doing all the hard work organising the Monday coach & collating the numbers interested & sure he will update here once he has time. We hope to have a cunning plan to suit as many as possible at the best price for this trip shortly but fine for others to do their own thing or organise other group trips but would suggest another thread for this as it will all get a bit confusing!

[Mr Chrysalis]

I plan to consolidate final numbers for the Monday IOW trip this weekend. At present it looks like it will be easier for everyone to book their own foot passenger tickets, as some want to use Tesco vouchers, some get Senior discounts etc and also some want to return as soon as they get off the coach and some want to stay in Yarmouth for dinner and/or drinks. At present the coach is booked to pick us up at Yarmouth and drop us at Yarmouth but I am trying to establish if it would be better for it to collect us from Lymington and drop us back there. Right now this does not look like it will work out. Next step will be to identify where we want the coach to visit. If anyone has any special requests please let me know.

 

[fairford rambler]

Thanks both for the replies, much appreciated.
