Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed LondonÌý

I thought about leaving a car at the holiday house for general use.It would have been a UK car - from this and other forum responses, getting an ½ûÂþÌìÌà car would have been 'difficult'. [although I did consider getting an ½ûÂþÌìÌà to buy, tax and insure a car in Italy]I had considered insurance - I would have used Saga [or similar] for the annual 'use abroad' facilityI'd considered the MOT problem - the car would be new [or nearly new] so wouldn't needÌýan MOT for 3 years, when it would be returned to the UK and replacedÌý- it would be a small/cheap car to keep costs down -Ìýsomething like the Ford Ka that I bought brand new about 18 months ago for under £5kThe downfall of the proposal was what you did with the car when I wasn't there - if I left it at the airport, there were charges and security to consider.Ìý if I left it at the house, I had to pay for transport to and from the airport.All in all - the costs didn't stack up - so I hire

MBK - thanks for the warning - it at least made me aware there probably would be a problem.Ìý As i'd booked the overnight stop already - we still went ahead withÌýthe route anywayÌýBoth sides of the dual carriageway were 'singled' in places, with contraflow as well.Ìý It wasn't too much of a problem going from Dunkirk, as we were not having to get to a ferry by a set time, and a later arrival at the hotel didn'tÌý really matter [only in lost drinking time!].Ìý But we didn't want to risk missing the ferry on the way back.
It literally sounds like two stones being knocked together,ÌýÌý.ÌýPerhaps its just that - a local scaring the birds away as he goes out to work in the morning
I'd avoid the property like the plague - tax dodge, plus charges against it etc etc - run like h*ell
