Planes, Trains or Automobiles

[Kermit]

What do you think?

I really wanted to get over to the Dam and i am proper pissed i cant make it. But i am looking at other options.

Take my Missus car and drive it, my car would cane the fuel but my missus car is a little diesel hatch. Question how long you think from Brummie land and whats the best route?

Train????? any input?

Coach which is not realy an option due to the time it takes??

Or fuck them all and just re-book for one of the upcoming weekends and fly out??

Any help would be good!

Im just waiting for my flight to be cancelled tomorrow then i shall be booking the coach ! 24hrs but at least i shall get to the Dam ! Bhongboy has been in touch with the offer of a lift he is booked onto the Margate/ostend in the morning and are driving now probably !

I declined the offer in the hope my flight will go !

Okay i may not get to the Damage for 420 but at least i shall get a holiday and if i go by coach i will get my full trip !

So a silver cloud and all that for anyone who makes it out later hook up at my T & T at Basjoe on Thurs at 18.00 ?

hope to see some of you soon peace out

Some good info people, thank you very much

If i dont make it out in a few days then i might be able to swing it for the 5th or 6th of May. Not counting on it as i have to get someone to have the kids whilst the missus goes to work. Spent a fortune paying for someone to have them this week which i have also lost on top of the apartment money.

I will let you know.

Ive used the DFDS (Newcastle-Ijmuiden) route,It was a comfy journey but on the other hand it did take ages like .

from brum down to dover not gona take long. drivent to dam many times! calais to dam is about 3 hours by car n will cost about 30 eur in diesel prob less. its a very quick route just watch out for antwerp as its a nightmare trafficwise and the ring road is well complicated. make sure u print out plenty of google mappage to get you through. once in dam parkings not bad in the underground lots. just a tad expensive
