Doc does Cochem 2025 with special (needs) ukgser guests

[Boxerboy55]

At the risk of upsetting the thread police. Re the Hull ferry, what time do you guys rock up to check-in? I understand check-in starts at 3pm and boarding starts at 5pm. Do bikes load first? I have used the Hull crossing before, but it was a long time ago.........More special needs questions to come

I was filling up around 1530h then using a McD before rolling in to check in. Didn’t hang around long before merging in to vehicle Q to roll up 2 decks to deck 7. I always wait for a clear run up the ramp in a oner. Was dry. Be careful in wet.9

I usually get there 2pm ish. Generally 1st on and if lucky 1st off.
Early yes but once on job done and a few beers.

Good advice about waiting on the ramp to be clear before riding up.
That's what I do.

Sometimes things just turn to shit.
After Cochem, I'm going Walschbronn. Called my mate at 9am to wish him a happy birthday.
He had a stroke 2 weeks ago and will be in the Krankenhaus until the 26th

Hospital visit on the cards.

Not so good John.
I am now in Newark after loads of crawing traffic on the A1!

Ta buddy ( see Doc different from a pal!).
I now think I'll go home the west route.
Anyway, here's Newark.

Easy day tomorrow to Ashford so I'll now visit Canterbury en route.
A bit culture to explain to Doc.

Take it easy as we know how over-excited you can get!
I'm going to Brownhills to look at campervans after breakfast to keep me calm.
