Looking at the ferry times I am "minded" to aim for the 14:30 Irish Ferries fast crossing to Holyhead.
With a 4 hours plus drive home from there we'd get back home while it was still light, around 9pm which is fine.

Coordinating the ferries from Wales at the start is more important, do we need to start coordinating directly by email etc. on that and other points?
Obviously it's a bit "chicken and egg" but I'm reluctant to book ferries without some other firming up of arrangements and other commitments as discussed - e.g. funding walkie-talkies etc.
