We also drove back one hit - but left at 5.30am and were home about 6pm.
Doing the crossing around 4pm (eurotime) gives enough of a break before the
last couple of hours in the UK.


Hi Paul

How ? It always seems to take us 11 - 12 hours just to get from the
resort to Calais? How on earth do you cross the channel and get all
the way to Northampton in 13 and a half hours?
