We didn’t want to hang around particularly, so we had breakfast and packed up. Several other MHF-ers trundled past us, looking to get an early start at the supermarkets before the influx of day-tripping booze cruisers, and we followed suit.

An uneventful trip back up to Calais brought us to the industrial estate with the supermarkets on the outskirts. We headed for Pidou, although the smell from the food vending chalets outside was a bit sickly. However, we were able to hold our noses, and our stomachs, and stock up on beer and a few other bits and bobs. We wound our way to the checkin, and were offered an earlier crossing for £7.50. Mindful of a pre-planned charity event in the evening, we took the offer, and were waved straight on to the ferry (first time ever!) for another uneventful and comfortable crossing.

We arrived home in the early afternoon, and got the washing machine on and the van emptied.
