Message to several bods....
Excellent.
Now we are cooking on gas.
08.06 is not so far away from 08:20, so not so long to risk the locks.
From memory, the petrol station has a buffet (of sorts) so at least you can get a coffee and a bun.
I am trying to think if there is a sensible alternative place to meet up with you and I can't. The only realistic alternative is for you to meet up with JimboGS1200, 14 minutes or so ahead of us and go together to Cassel?

Having got your passport, why not give it a crack?
I agree, catching the 06 silly o'clock train is daft. But maybe we can work something out if you come a bit later?
We are not leaning Cassel, wheels rolling, until noon. Are there any trains available a bit later after 08:20? If so, I can probably work something out so that you can cut the corner as it were or meet you in Cassel. Thinking about it, we leave Cassel on the road we came in on, so our paths could cross somewhere. The main chunk of the ride is stage 2 from Cassel to to Cap Griz Nez, so at worse all you might miss is a coffee.
Neither I or ChasMill want anyone to miss out on the jaunt for the sake of a train or two and am happy to do what I can to sort it out. Have sent you a PM.

jimboGS... Well you is well early, man (as my Bangladeshi' neighbour's son says)....So full marks, without a doubt Hero of the jaunt so far, for sure.
.... What to do? It depends a bit on the weather. I guess it's better to wait in Cassel than Texaco / the Eurocity shopping centre? On the way to Cassel there is a windmill as you climb out of Watten, which would kill a few minutes.

Let's try to agree what the early birds - and hopefully the later arrival - can do. I am happy to try to sort something out if I can. It's just a day out, so I am sure we can cobble something together.

Travel is a problem,
I have managed to get on the 08:06 but JimboGS1200 is on the 07:20
Therefore, we will be hanging around at the Texaco for the rest of you.
If my perm goes frizzy in the rain there will be hell to pay.
