Good Idea Barry. How was the ferry from Cherbourg to Dublin? The older I get the less attracted I am to fighting my way down the big overcrowded Island

really good. last year i came into Rosslare on the way home early enough in the morning to hit the Dublin rush hour gridlock which wasn't appreciated on a long journey when you just want to get home.

Cherbourg to Dublin is a good way of getting home relatively easily. I was first onto the boat which sails at 4pm, get changed and a few pints watching a band on the deck as the boat began the 'cruise' home, then bit of dinner followed by a band in the bat at 9pm and early to bed.

Off the boat c.10.30, through the port tunnel and booted up to Moira for 12. I would thoroughly recommend it as we did the spain ferry out which is a bit longer but on your way home you just want to get there.
