I've used Norfolk line twice before . I found them great...very empty, cheap and far nicer boats than P & O. (mind you i do fit into the 'not wash for a week' category!)

Plus you get priority exit as we're too low to get to the higher decks!

More fool you Geoff!! It's in your interest to p*ss, moan, and make them think you can't make it up there. NEVER tell them you CAN make it :lol:

Sorry chaps I started the precedent on the loading and unloading of a VX on Norfolkline ferries, at a 110 mm ride height you can make the ramps up to the top deck and I was asked a lot of questions by the Norfolkline guys ON DELFT they were moaning that you get these types who are always trying to stay with the trucks for some reason - oh I remember that means you can take cool pics of your VXR from the stern :lol: actually I set my number plate lower than the chin of the clam as an early warning. 54 return trips on Norfolkline and counting, I own half a boat by now. Cheers Ian

Haven't checked to see if this has been posted already but Bookatrack do Spa days and have this useful pdf with routes and accommodation [here].

PS I've had no problems with Norfolkline, only with the old Speed Cat Ferries.

That's reasonable compared to what I've been quoted!!!!!

March is a little early in the year though. Keep your eyes peeled for other organisers guys!

I'm going to canvas Autotrack maybe focused
