Can we bung 200 each at P&O and see if they have a spare ferry we can borrow?
Harwich to Hook is ok. Especially with the comfy upgraded cabins and minibar.Even though I'm not coming (because a - I don't know you lot and b - because I've already got something planned) - my preference, which I've developed over the past few years is to do the itinerary in reverse. Keep the nice long ferry journey for the way home. I'm about to try Harwich -> Hook of Holland instead of Eurotunnel. Then I can miss out France pretty much entirely. I'll take an interesting route through Germany and Austria, then down to Lake Garda. I'll then make my way, via a combination of overnight ferries and driving, into Spain, Barcelona, Logrono, San Sebastian and then either Santander or Bilbao -> Portsmouth.
The advantage of this, in my opinion, is that you're in holiday mode right up until you leave your last stop to catch the ferry to get home. Otherwise, if I did it the other way around, once I start "heading home" I lose the holiday feeling and just want to get home. This might be just me - but it's something I've figured out over the years - take as long as I like getting to where I'm going - but once I leave there - home as quickly as possible.

One of my customers is his helicopter pilot !Well if we gut it and throw his 2 helicopters out of the hangers and dump the submarine I am sure we could fit plenty in the 162.5 metres.

We don't really know them either, but we are still hoping to join in..... (maybe we're just mad!). And out of curiosity which route are you taking to Garda - we've got a strange one booked (tho' we are doing France via the N40 I think it is)Even though I'm not coming (because a - I don't know you lot and b - because I've already got something planned) - my preference, which I've developed over the past few years is to do the itinerary in reverse.
