Day 8. Saturday Arras - Europort

I had deliberately kept the distance for today short as I didn't want the lads who have to catch the ferry to panic or worry. The distance from the Hotel to the Ferry is 327km/204miles and non stop would take three hours and twenty two minutes. As the ferry doesn't depart till the evening there is loads of time. Allowing two hours for stops the latest departure time from the Hotel would be 12.30pm.


Option 1.        Stay in bed and recover from last nights hang over?
Option 2.         Spend a couple of hours touring WW1 sites. (see separate route plan)
