Through the Chunnel and escape

[tc4332]

This weekend, 1st & 2nd October 2016 I am attending a wedding near Maastricht in Holland. I'll be on my own, 'cos speedlimiter is already committed to something else. I've used the train many times with a full size coach but this will be a first for me with a car. Somebody once mentioned that the train is a bit tight for the 8s so I'm taking vaseline and a shoe horn just in case.
Plan is to leave Wigan as soon after midnight as possible on Friday morning to catch the 05:40 train off Folkestone, need to book in before 05:20. Hope to arrive Valkenburg by lunchtime.
Visit a British War Graves Cemetery in nearby Brunsum Saturday morning.
Wedding in V'burg Saturday afternoon, dancing etc. late into the night.
Sunday morning visit the American Cemetery at Maargraten and depart the area at lunchtime to catch the 18:30 train off Calais.
Hope to be back in Wigan before midnight. Better be I'm working Monday/Tuesday.

Wednesday 5th we are flying to Gran Canaria for a week of lazing. Daughter's Birthday prezzie to us both.
