if you do an average of 60 miles an hour it will take 2 and a half hours to get to the port, arriving at 2230, they will start loading about 45 min after this time. i do agree though as to average 60mph is hard work, especially if we get caught in traffic for road works or some incident on the planned route. think i would like to arrive too early rather than too late. but its very possible to do it. i may leave earlier than the planned time so i can have a cruise down there stress free, what does everyone think???

Good point guys - I agree - I think maybe an earlier start would be better. Perhaps 6.30pm/7pm ish? that would give us 4 or 4 and a half hours ish to get to the port by 11pm (although we'll probably get there earlier than that), but at least it will give us some extra time if needed. What does everyone think? I really can't wait for this trip - it's going to be awesome!!

???I really think it would be wise to leave earlier, absolutely no point in missing the ferry for the sake of sitting around at the docks for a couple of hours, I'm sure there is a bar we can have a beer in to pass the time

The leaving time in my original post was when it was just me booked up. i did think at the time that 3 hours to do 123miles would be ok as it means an average of just o 40.9mph. however if everyone wants to get there very early thats cool with me, but when i went last time there was nothing to do but wait in your line in the dark. I did think that we would all meet up a week or two before we go to sort out the final details. So are you thinking of joining us then mr & mrs animalbus or do you just like arranging other peoples trips

Hey guys, leaving a bit earlier sounds like a good idea, i'd rather take my time and stay chilled.
