C'mon Stephen. You know you want to. Tell the wife your going to the off licence and you may be some time. Better still bring her with you. I'm taking my lady with me.

I have my booking at the Terrassenhotel in Edersee confirmed for 9th - 11th Aug.

What are we going to do about ferries? P&O with priority as before and swallow the price?

If yes, it looks like £113 at the moment, for 06:40 on 9th going out and 17:15 on 13th coming back, both with priority boarding.

Sent an email to the hotel to book my stay.
Yes priority is a must
I would maybe like to stay another day at the ring just to chill and come back on the Wednesday.I will see what others want to do first.

If we do the 0640 ferry then I suggest we stay at the hotel Darren and I stayed at a couple of years ago that was bed only and do breakfast on the ferry.
I will stay at the ring until Tuesday morning then head off on my road trip of Germany.

So, 0640 ferry? I'll book if that's what peeps want.

OK, we are agreed on the Friday time, Oh 6:40, as in Oh my god its early!

I'll book the Friday out and Tuesday return as posted earlier, as I can only take 3 days off at that time. No pressure for anyone else to conform to my plans.

Edited to say I have now booked my ferry trips
