| Horses...
It's only the ferry out that is fixed... assuming we get the same deal as last yeae you can come back Dunkirk Dover any sailing.
Mind you... more sightseeing after a fortnight of it...? Good luck!

| Give Keith & Tim a chance and the ferries will be arranged.
I'm with Frank though, you'll have seen plenty of sights by the end of the Rally. If the format is the same in 2011, the stop-over on the way to the return ferry is very welcome and a chance to recharge the batteries (not the ones on your truck) | |

| No questions are stupid Rob; so fire ahead. Steve and Fank's answers are spot on. The original plan to end the rally in Bavaria was to allow those who wanted to have Euro holiday to carry on etc. We decided that the organisers needed (and for sure we did!!) some R&R on the return leg; so we found a campsite on the edge of the Moselle (just over half way between Bavaria and Dunkirk). As we are really friendly and helpful ( ) we also offered the Moselle campsite to all the rally gang - thinking one or two might want to join us. In reality 90% of the entrants stopped over with us on the Moselle!! (I think they thought we were so devious that the campsite might not exist - so they all followed us Ha) Re ferries - Payment will need to be made for the outbound (Portsmouth - Caen) at a special rate. For the return we used Norfolkline Dunkirk - Dover at very special rates!! The latter ferry times can be flexible if you wanted a second holiday (the first holiday being the rally!!!! ) | |

| You may hear about secret checks etc, don't worry about them, we have something else more devious than that this time, the secret checks were to good, me and Mike couldn't even stop for a coffee without crews pulling up thinking we we're a secret check again, so, this time, we're going full stealth. We'll see you, but you won't see us | |

| Good to the suckers - oops entrants - are already starting to panic; mind you they need to! Stealth, stealth and more stealth. Don't tell them any more about the stealth. | |
