Odd that you don't have to provide API information on the ferry. I phoned them and asked because I have to take the car again this year. Having said that the crossing only takes 90 minutes and cost £32 for the return trip.

I might even have space for the banjo :uhoh:

The check in on the Hull ferry last week was very slow going out as they were checking everything at check in.

No its legal requirement now, Rain God passed the info on, can be 700 euro fine, paid there and then, no excuses, and no pay no bike, bet your life they will be close to the crossing areas to make some cash.. :twisted:

Well I'm home safe and sound, dry ride there and back. Our Belgian friends went the extra mile again.
A lot of laughing and drinking. But also a fantastic ride from Cassel to Lauwe, they blocked all other traffic in our path, side, main roads and roundabouts etc. PLUS a history lesson half way there on what British miners can achieve with a pick and a shovel and a few thousand tons of explosives. The strange thing is how peaceful and beautiful the location is now.

+1.
And to the bottle collectors, who had a full-time job picking up empties.
And to the outriders who made the ride from Cassel run so smoothly.
And to Tom for the history lesson.
And to the band, who were damn good.
And to everyone else there for making it another great weekend.
And to the Sporty for getting me there and back without anything dropping off. :shock:
