Woke up this morning to find a blizzard outside, we weren't sure if the ferry crossing will be cancelled but we drove to Dover anyway in true one ball rally style. Found a pub in Dover to watch Man Utd thrash Liverpool - Dave and Ashton nearly fell out.
Got to the ferry port with a few minutes to spare and loaded Betty on after some tight manouvering. We got on just in time to get a comfy seat and watch the start of the Arsenal game in what we thought was the ideal location until we were thrown out by security as it turned out to be a childs play room - we wondered why we were getting funny looks from concerned parents!
Docked into France only to be greeted by 3 inches of snow but we weren't too worried as we had our trusty sat nav - or so we thought. It turned out that Pilkys laptop was on low battery after playing Champ Man on the ferry. With 2 minutes to go until the European maps were downloaded onto the sat nav, the laptop decided to call it a day and switch off so we had to get to Brussels old school with our paper map.
Mileage - 497
Meter cost - £ 994
