Default Does anybody fancy a night ferry ?

We could pick up a late night ferry at Dover, they run all night. Maybe from say 9:15 PM or perhaps later ?

Other options include catching the 6:15 am ferry and staying in Dover overnight.

Night time ferry is the best plan, we get to sleep when it's best and ride when it's best. Perfect!

Would definitely prefer a night ferry as I've got no problem in staying up late but getting up before dawn is somewhat painful (if at all possible!).

It would also allow us more time to get to the destination I suggest and if we ride side by side in pairs then if we think the other rider is starting to nod off we can just give 'em a quick kick.

This last paragraph is meant for professional insomniac riders only and in no way should be attempted by viewers at home.

If I was able to make it, I would probably take overnight ferry from Hull. This arrives in Ostend at 08.30, so I would most likely be running behind you guys anyways.
