RTT08 Update.
Just got email confirmation of my booking from Dorren - I think someone has been tipping her off about our snoring:

<i>Hi Chris,
You are now booked for the hostel and we will do the best we can to put snorers with snorers and non with non!!! </i>

I never mentioned snoring in my email [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Dorren has confirmed my booking for 2, 5th to 11th.
Outline plan is M4 west out of Newport early saturday, Fishguard to Rosslare.
<!--quoteo(post=66895:date=Thu 10th Jan 2008, 12:27 PM:name=Negwedar)-->QUOTE(Negwedar @ Thu 10th Jan 2008, 12:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->Outline plan is M4 west out of Newport early saturday, Fishguard to Rosslare.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Fishguard-Rosslare sailings on the 5th are 02:45, 11:30, 14:30 and 18:30. I guess there'll be a fair few of us on the 11:30. Doubt ferry companies give group discounts though.

Looks to be £100 for a return with the bike. Pembrook-Rosslare is cheaper but only 02:45 and 14:30 aren't great times. I'll probably get the 15:00 on the way back on the 12th.

No. This time it is solid. You can email Dorren again and ask for a confirmation to be sure, to be sure if you want.
