It happened to me. Did it happen to you?
We missed our booked 17:30 return crossing from Boulogne on Monday. The next one was booked solid so we managed to blag our way on the 00:30. So we had 6 hours to kill in Boulogne.
I noticed a couple of other familiar faces on the quayside having also missing their crossing, Bobblehat in the camper etc. Did you use the Shuttle?
Hi Steve,
The team Bobblehat camper eventually crossed by ferry at approx 2.50am from Calais, so was a pretty dire trip for them.
I can't say we were impressed by Speedferries customer service. In the Tiger we made the ferry with an hour and a half to spare so no problems for us. The Beetle was booked on the 21.00 ferry and they in fact made it to Boulogne 45 minutes before the 17.30 sailing. Knowing the Team Bobblehat camper was not going to make the ferry we asked Speedferries to swap the two vehicles over.
Bloody JOBSWORTHS refused
so the beetle had to wait till 21.00 and gave the guys in the camper major grief when a bit of flexibility would have worked wonders.
Portsmouth - Caen next year for sure.....
Anyway hope you had a good time.
Regards
Robin
