Nice to be able to do what you are doing and knowing that if things work out how you wanted then you can always come back!! I agree with your reasons BTW..................Good luck and hope it all works out well!

Probably best to take the A25 north of Calais, then Lille, Tournai, then the E42 to north of Namur, then head down the E411 to Arlon.

Yes , the best route for me

Something I do all the time, UK, Denmark, Ireland twice in last 3/4 years, used to it and to be honest, I enjoy getting about and seeing stuff, places, cultures in work mode rather than holiday mode. Playing the poor-boy a but but we couldn't afford holidays when I was a kid and after really when starting a family, so this works for me.

Cheers again all but is the Hull - Rotterdam route worth it? Saves on car mileage and can kip overnight. Hull - Zeebrugge would be better but running only freight at the moment. Any tolls in NL? Roads ok?

Did that crossing several times last year and I liked it.
Not glamorous but was a bit of fun at the same time.

No tolls in Holland, bit like here but always found that some of the major roads have a habit of just stopping in the middle of town. What’s the WW2 bridge film with the guy from Mission Impossible? That’s a prime example

Banking IT, AIX, Solaris, and linux, hate linux. Design and build, POWER frames, MQ, IIB etc.

Sounds boring but I enjoy it and it keeps me in Maseratis..

I'm looking to gain a EU passport since Brexit fuucked me up work-wise, Gramps was Irish but I can't prove it - like he never existed and I've worked in Ireland for something like 3 years out of last 7 - not enough tho.

So starting again in Lux which seems to be good for my industry, but I'll be 63 if I say long enough to get Lux nationality, not sure if I'll live that long lol! Goals keep me going tho, u never know I'm live as long as my uncle who popped his at 90....

RIP Uncle Ronnie

Thanks again again! I've decided I'm doing Hull - Rotterdam, overnight, 13 hour sailing, then down to Arlon.

Less driving and no M25 to deal with even in lockdown bet it's no fun.

I'm in Wakefield so an hour or so to ****. I mean Hull, obviously. Kip on boat, 3/4hr drive to Arlon, I can cope with that.
