I agree - motorways from Rotterdam/Zeebrugge to Spa and back are bloody dull - I'm not taking the Porsche if that's the plan - bored of sitting with engine drone at 4000 rpm and no creature comforts whatsoever for hours and hours on end...

I would do a tunnel back Sunday night as per last trip, could be persuaded to go on the party boat if it a Thursday night crossing, if you go Wednesday i'll do tunnel return, that is if the bloody french have stopped messing about

Would like to do this, as I have missed various events over the last few weeks.
Can't get James' route link to work, but I'm sure it will be a good one. Main concern for Jason would be to avoid roads with 'FLACs' :lol: :lol: :lol:
I'll let him explain if you can't work it out. Clue - it's what Belgians do in vast numbers at weekends.
