Well we set of at 9am Sunday morning from Just North of Manchester, M6 (none Toll) M1 even though it was Sunday afternoon, the M25 as per delivered a 2hr delay, major crash just before Dartford, car with roof of etc, 4 lanes down to one, lovely.
Got to Dover for 5pm, so 8hrs to do 310 miles.
Anyway no problem with the M20, no parked lorries just mile after mile of Portaloos, with there doors flapping in the wind.
Ferrys to Dunkirk, were running with a 40 min delay against scheduled time, we were booked on the 6pm sailing.
Staff told me that all DFDS Ferrys were going to Dunkerque, as Calais are still only letting P&O into Calais port.
Which would be fine although at least one DFDS Ferry has been standing idle outside Dover port since last week, as it is to large to fit into Dunkerque.
DFDS staff were fantastic, we even had a meal on the ship as it was so late, total cost £15 for the two of us, and they had full bottles of French white wine on offer at £5! Well it would have been rude not to.
Finally got to our Premiere Classe Hotel for 10pm French time, were the Campanile restaurant had closed for the night, so just as well we had that meal on the ship.
All in all not a bad first day of the holiday as we head South, it will be interesting to see what happens today, DFDS have a meeting with the Strikers, I wonder if our return crossing in a few weeks time, will be just as trouble free as yesterday!
