Driving to Hamm
Right.. I'm thinking of driving to Hamm this year.
Has anyone driven and can give me detailed instructions of what the best route is to take, where the best parking in Hamm is, and also how to get over there - ferry, tunnel, what's the best bet? I'm pretty sure i'm too fat to be comfortable on the coach journey.. and plan on bringing back a whole car full of stuff, and as there's 4 of us I think by the time we paid for 4 coach tickets it wouldn't be any more expensive to drive anyway. I like to get things sorted way in advance and we'll probably stay in a hotel too so that's why I'm asking now  Afterall it's less than 4 months away now!

tunnel is quicker and a bit cheaper i think.. ferry is more fun.
the route is straight forward.. its about 5/6 hours on the other side. long old drive if ur not used to it. there is lots of parking when u get there.
