are there any coaches going to hamm this sept?

I was having a look.
there is a coach via the IHS for septembers show, £185. Question though. Its about a 10hr drive from mine dover-calais through france and what have ya. Why does no-one ever seem to go via Amsterdam? People further north from me still seem to go the France route...

I did a route check, ferry from Hull to Amsterdam takes around 12hrs, so a longer trip but its only a 2.5hr drive for me to Hull and its 2.5hr drive from the ferry to Hamm. So an overnight ferry doubles as a hotel so not to expensive that way and save loads in petrol plus only 5hr drive total.
Am i missing something with the Amsterdam option?

babygyalsw2 havent you considered this route from Manchester? Be about the same trip for you as me.
Also whats the deal on bringing animals back regarding paperwork, customs and such?
Does this differ france to holland?

I wanted to go in Sept, but its not a good time for me so im going to give it a miss till March. Would like to know the deal though.
