Firkin long drive with a boat on the back ???

Reckons 5 hours just a car, maybe 6 hours with a boat, maybe a little more ???

Then 12.30hours on the ferry.....

Wonder how much for the boat trailer too ??? Fishing looks great though, and if you can split the costs between a couple of you certainly miles cheaper than norway!!

You can put trailers into the quote think it will be by the meter same as Motorhomes.
Works out just under £20 per meter including the car

Heavy boat + old git= need for good slip :blink:
