Default Organised Hamm trip for us Northerners?

I know tarantulabarn do a coach from the South East across to Hamm but was wondering if anyone does something similar from the North East?

DFDS sail from North Shields (Newcastle) to Holland so I'm wondering if anyone operates a similar trip up this way?

Thanks

Rob

When the normal coach trips resume, which will be March 2009, The "Northeners" coach will probally be crossing at Hull, however we are looking at other crossings to get the travel time down, i think when we looked at Hull it took around 8 hours off each end of the trip. There are many many other aspects of the trip are being looked at before the trips resume, including animal welfare enroute.

Thanks for the replies - I'll keep an eye out for the "Northerners" coach next year.

I'm so glad some of the 'incidents' from last time havn't put a stop to more coaches being run.

Look forward to going on another

I doubt anybody will want to bring it up again. Just call it animal welfare.

There were some big problems on one of the coaches, the main one being animal welfare, which is why i only have a minibus going in december and the normal trips will not run until March, this is to allow enough time to remedy the problems that are/were found
