Booked my Hull to Zeebrugge last month direct with P&O, was £498 return including Brasserie meals both directions. Thought I better book food just in case hopefully its not as bad as I am worried it may be :) I know PCGB have started looking at bookings too and Hull to Zeebrugge is their northern route, so could be quite a few Porches on the boat.

Good to know, thanks James. I am trying to book a table as there are 6 of us but not heard anything back. We are travelling Wed to Mon, which are the same dates as PCGB hence why I booked.

Unfortunately I won't be joining you all in the DDK camping, we are going as couples and the requirement from the ladies was a chateau. But hopefully will see some of you over the weekend. Even if its just parking or wandering around.

you can't book a table in advance .. only once you're on board.

Hi
I am interested in camping if there is still space with fellow DKK'ers. I would be coming from Surrey and would like to know more on the format and pricing please.

Many thanks

I don’t think Robin has prices etc. yet but you might want to look at booking your ferry- they do fill up fast!

Plenty of space ... Robin hasn’t even started taking names

Clive is right about the ferry’s though

If you’ve not been before, it’s worth familiarising yourself with Bootsy’s initiation ceremony for first timers.

I wasn’t told the exact details and if I had been I’d probably have practised a bit in the lead up. If you’re not used to using the muscles it can be quite painful for a few days after.

We (I) haven't started taking names yet, I'm waiting on Andrew from TD coming back to confirm pricing then we'll be good to go, with deposits needed first, then balance closer to the time. The DDK campsite is part of TD site where the glamping tents are located, this for you information is to the infield side of Porsche Curves with the benefit of having access to the TD campsite on the outside of Porsche Curves where we have exclusive viewing - pretty neat at 2-3am... - Stay tuned.

Many thanks - sounds great - may I ask who/what is "TD" as I genuinely have no idea!? Just need to make sure the car is running properly by then - it can be a bit of a lottery!

Edit:- Realise now "TD" is Travel Destinations!
