Guys, I'm OK for P&O at 05:55am on 12th of August, but I'm now not sure about going to Nurburgring, as I'll be limited with vacation time.

I'm planning to stay for two nights in Edersee and then go to back to UK directly from there, which means 16:35 ferry on 14th of August (not 16th).

I have e-mailed Edersee hotel and now waiting for confirmation of booking for two nights.

I can do my ferry booking asap.

OK I'm booked now with P&O on 05:55 12th Aug & 16:35 16th Aug, with priority boarding.

Mike, sorry I didn't spot your 17:20 suggestion, so went with my original time.

You neede to book your own hotels and ferries.

We are going on the P&O ferry 0555 sailing on the Friday and will probably stay at the Premier Inn Dover East on the Thursday night.

Just to be safe, if you're driving to Calais from Edersee, I'd book a later ferry back on the Sunday. Bear in mind you are going to be driving for 6 hours , that means leaving very early to guarantee your arrival at Calais for 16:00.
