We hope to go but the tit-for-tat quarantine may scupper us if we have to go via France . Depends on the rules when we see them

I wouldn't worry too much about France. They only have a 2 month season, July and August, they switch the lights off on 31st August, so am sure they will open up for 1st July.

No Quarantine in the UK from 1st July so France will probably quash theirs but you are allowed to travel through France anyway.

Have taken a gamble and booked the ferry Dover/Dunkirk on 1st July. I should be in Reil same day if my God is with me. My grandmother always told me it was better to be born lucky than good looking and I was always lucky so must have been one ugly baby. Lets hope we can finally get this show on the road.

Unfortunately I think it was misinformation by the BBC, disappeared off their website 2 hours later I think they got confused with Spain.

We’ve booked the first two weeks of September off work and hoping to visit Switzerland and Germany if possible so will pop in here at some point if all still open.

Nothing booked yet but probably Newcastle or Hull ferry, checked the price last week and Hull return was coming in around £500. When we decide we’ll contact the caravan club as they’re normally around 10% cheaper, might be expensive compared to Dover but we reckon the fuel and time saved is worth it.

Yes we usually use the Newcastle Ijmuiden ferry, a bit more but when you're working it's the time saved that counts

It's only about 40 miles to the ferry for us too.

I’ve checked and it’s the same, around £500! I’m toying with the idea of Frequent Traveller tickets for eurotunnel, don’t know how that works, but I’m told it’s around £60 each way, factor in £50 each way for diesel it’s Nearly £300 cheaper, BUT a proper PIA getting there and back. Hull-zeebrugge is getting way expensive now, Stena from Harwich is £232 Return on day sailings🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

WESTY66 - Frequent Traveller is great, works well, easy to amend/cancel online if more than 24 hours hence without any charges, and you stay in your van, so much easier to SD!

We could be interested in this meet. We are due to travel up towards Dusseldorf, towards the end of June. We’ll be spending few days there and could take a drive to Reid. Have been before with a bike group in that area. Gonna keep a eye on this tread and how it progresses.

We’ve used that route quite often as it’s only 85 miles away the only problem is the sailing time means we need a half day on the Friday, still makes sense if your going north on the other side.

We've sometimes went out via ET and come home via Zeebrugge as it’s a nice way to finish the holiday, we reckon it’s about £150-£200 more expensive doing over night return compared to Dover but still worth it.

One of the main reasons we use the route is to save the drive, we’re 8hours from Dover with no hold ups where Hull is easily achieved in under 4. It means by 7 o’clock I can be sitting having my dinner and a beer then get up fresh and get a good drive the next day. Last year we did the south of France and used ET on way out as we had Tesco vouchers to use up, we then drove to the south of France which felt longer due to two long days. We like to finish our holiday in Ypres so got the over night home from Zeebrugge.

Don’t forget to try Hull Rotterdam takes you a wee bit further north but not really an issue if travelling to Germany.

I’ve just checked price for Hull to Rotterdam going out on 4/9 and returning on 19/9 with 7m MH and two adults, price came in at £475 so I’d reckon I could get it about £430/440 with CMC. Think that’s a good price and saves a lot of driving and misses out the M25😂😂

Not sure how much ET would be.

Well for another £60 or so you could get across and back with Eurotunnel buying their frequent traveller deal, and still have another 8 crossings left that you can take within a year by just paying another £12 each way for using the motorhome. No brainer for us, but then we live in Kent.

There’s just summat I don’t like about the Rotterdam route, the boat and the run in and out of Europoort! I much prefer the zeebrugge boat and the run in and out of zeebrugge port. Don’t know why it’s more expensive though🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
ET without the frequent traveller is around £195-220 depending on the time you go and return👍 With frequent traveller tickets it’s £120 Return off peak

We prefer Zeebrugge route too but the Rotterdam one leaves an hour later so handy if traffic is bad, again we often go out this way and back via Zeebrugge.
Will give it a few more weeks before making a decision as our other choice is Ireland, if you think Hull crossing is expensive don’t look at Stranraer to NI 😂😂
