I have to say I am forever grateful that Miles and I am escaped from right behind you in the queue and went to Dunkirk!
Harwick to the Hoek, a night in Amsterdam and south from there..?
No? Fair enough.
I'm pretty sure some members (no pun intended) wouldn't actually leave Amsterdam.
Le Havre return ferry now full, looking into Dieppe/Newhaven as we speak.
Bloody ****. What's going on with all the ferries this year? Are there less of them due to Brexit panics? Surely not.

Apparently (according to local news) hauliers are block booking crossings as they fear that because of the hold ups expected with Brexit, you won't be able to turn up on the day and get a crossing (like they have previously). Not sure how true this is, as I've always had to book.
Maybe it's different for lorries?
You'll have no issues spoiler clearance wise on boarding the ferry at Newhaven and or at Dieppe with your Masers. This is the ferry I take to my place 20 mins from Dieppe. It's a four hour crossing either way. The drive is do-able to Le-Mans too from Dieppe. You'll be able to fuel up at "Auchan" commercial centre which is about five minutes away from Dieppe harbour. Happy hunting for the ferry crossings it sounds like you're having a mare!?Le Havre return ferry now full, looking into Dieppe/Newhaven as we speak.
Cool, thanks for the tip, I think we will do this....if its free. 20 car booking takes some asking!You'll have no issues spoiler clearance wise on boarding the ferry at Newhaven and or at Dieppe with your Masers.

Ahhh, you may have a point there. The tunnel / Dover is generally expected to be an absolutely clusterfeck if we crash out without a deal. If I was a haulier I would also be block-booking alternative routes to France because the worst-case scenario is that Dover will be pretty much inaccessible by road due to a million lorries being stuck there.
It does make me think that we should avoid we should avoid Dover / tunnel being part of any leg of the trip.
