What is happening at the end of June? World Cup!!!
England's initial group matches are 12th, 18th and 23rd June....so no we won't be doing anything between the 30th June & 4th July....
who said "if"?
right now, the ferry from Hoek van Holland to Harwich is €470, Calais-Dover comes to less than €70. Helsinki-Travemünde is around €700.
Flights would be €200 from Frankfurt and £150 for a car, so it looks justifiable. I need, though, a towbar and back-up for the tent + stuff, as three-up it will otherwise be pretty tight. Tent itself isn't much of a problem, but the fact that I'll be wanting *all* of my camera gear with me for the meet means a big bag + lights... and the horse-riding gear has to go somewhere, too.
Just how bad is the M25 these days? I'd like to do return relatively early, just wondering *how* early to avoid traffic around London...

I use the ferries all the time and have just been looking at the Hoek route as we have to come back to the UK for a wedding in Norfolk at end of June, but it is way too expensive and much cheaper even allowing for the extra travelling to come in via Dover. IMO the best ferry company in terms of best ferries, service and CHEAP are Norfolk line, would suit you better as well as it is from Dunkirk. For your dates with just a car you can do it for €43 return but add a trailer and it gets expensive.
As for the M25 it can be awful - I try and avoid between 6.30am to 10am and from 3pm to 7.30pm, Friday's are worse and the lightest day being Saturday and Sunday morning - sunday afternoon can be a pig as well - but it can be bad any time as it only takes one incident and it all goes pear shaped.
Hope that is some help
Cheers

that's rather good
I now get to create a route in Googlemaps for the wife....
