Yes, I know it's a very rude word indeed, thank you. However, for reasons which need not concern
us here, I wish to visit the said country with a [by|tri]cycle at Easter. I shall be meeting a
group of Northern Types travelling from Hull to Zeebrugge. I have no particular urge to take my
motorcar to Belgium and leave it in Zeebrugge for the duration, nor do I have much desire to
travel all the way to Hull to get a ferry from there. Nothing against Hull, you understand, but it
/is/ some two hundred miles distant from Larrington Towers. And the last time[1] I went on a ferry
from Hull I was sick.
This, as far as I can tell, leaves:
o Dover - Calais and eighty-odd miles riding to Zeebrugge o Harwich - Hook and ninety-odd miles
riding to Zeebrugge (excluding bonus miles for using fietspads) o swear horribly, stay in Larrington
Towers and spend the money on drink
Any further suggestions, short of stealing a boat from a handy east coast marina,
gratefully received.
1 - though as that was 1968, I may have gotten my sea-legs by now.
