Just been having a think, maybe the earlier ferry (10.00) would be better, as, if we took the 12.30 we would have to negotiate the awful Antwerp ring road (similar in traffic volume to the Paris periphorique and our M25) during the start of the evening peak.
Erik (or Bruno) have the roadworks finished there yet ?
By taking the 10.00 we should arrive at Dunkerque at 13.00 local and should therefore clear Antwerp before the traffic, as we will be heading towards, and East of Amsterdam I don't forsee any problems there.
Is this the most popular, if so I will book my ferries now.

Funnily enough, I just logged on to ask about booking the ferries !
It means an earlier start leaving home, but, yes, the 10.00 o'clock would seem better - I'd rather drive earlier than get stuck later ! :-)

Just a couple more views anybody and we'll take that as the one going out. All views OK on the return or do you want to do your own return. I know Tim, David and ourselves need to get back so we will stick with the previously mentioned plan I believe arrivng home on the Tuesday evening via the same route up.

Adrian, I think we need to be clear as to who is doing the booking on the ferries. CENSORED - "I disagree"umption had been that we all are booking our own, outward and return, but the wording on your last two posts i.e. "or do you want to do your own return", has made me wonder.
Can you confirm? Ta

I'm not even going to try and comprehend your last posts whether I agree or (whatever you call it) not.
The idea is to travel up together (what we do best) and as some people have more time than others return your own way.
If we all use the same ferry going up OK, then tell me what ferry you want coming back.
If the concensus is I book them all or we all do our own, no problem just TELL ME......

Don't understand what had been happening there - every time I typed a certain phrase, it got corrupted. Only after I rephrased it, did it come out correctly !
Anyway......since we are travelling out together, then a block booking sounds a good idea, if everybody confirms that date and time is okay. BUT, does that mean you will need all the car details in advance? I assume it does, and I will email you my car details seperately.
Once booked I will re-imburse you immediately, so let me know.
Since Lynn and I plan to travel on up to Norway for an extra week, I will book our return passage.

I've got it! I've got it! Tony, you've been censored! The automatic censor must have a$$umed you were about to say 'm-y a-s-s' and replaced it with the rather more coy "I disagree"! Bum & willie, I say!

Oh yeah... heh-heh... The idea is to travel up together (what we do best) and as some people have more time than others return your own way. Agreed! We'll be with you on the 10:00, or whatever is the consensus.... I think we'll be with you all the way back too, per our chat the other evening. Like Tony, as soon as you tell us the cost, we'll reimburse you....
