Brussels Charleroi airport transfers

Hi all, hope I'm not repeating a question, but I'm curious if anyone's left Belgium via Charleroi on the 0715 flight on a Sunday morning? How does the transfer go!

I was reading about the busses on the airport website, and I'm thinking that the 0400 service would the be target with a backup of 0430. Is this the bus pickup point, does anyone remember?

Is there any sense in or possibility of staying nearer the airport on a saturday night?

Thanks for the help, o wise and experienced travellers.

Now that I am wise and learned in the ways of Charleroi, I say unto thee, that we didst stay in the Ibis in Charleroi town on the evening prior. This was good because:

a) It was fairly cheap at 50 quid
b) It was right across from the train station
c) They'd arrange a taxi to the airport at €14
d) You could wander into the town around the corner and get a drink or a meal

If we'd gone to one of the "airport hotels" like the Ibis airport (not to be confused with the Charleroi centre one) or Aero 44 it would have meant (for us) taxi from train station to hotel in evening, and from hotel to airport in morning, and maybe not so much wandering into town. Not that Charleroi is particularly beautiful, but it does have watering holes etc.

So that's my advice, and it mightn't suit you, but then again it might. Our flight was 0715, which would have been tough going on the airport bus from Brussels centre, I think.
