Hi peter,
We should cross sometime on Thursday around North London its a about the same form West Yorkshire to Portsmouth I should be sailing around 10pm and arrive in cean at 7am, I don't know if you have ever been on the ferry to cean but the boat is full of classic cars going to Le Mans and it one big party atmosphere,

And it only 1-1/2 -2 hours drive through rural France to Le Mans and no tole roads,

Be good as you say to meet up and have a beer

Hi Pete,

The return crossing will cost me around £400 because I go overnight and have a cabin, with this I always feel refreshed because it's a long day and you won't get too much sleep over the weekend,
