Just had a mail from stenna black friday £50 off on 2016 bookings before monday but the online price is now £280 so guess the price rises near to the date. Return ferry is showing li ited availability for some reason.

I have contacted Paul Newbiggin at Stena, and just waiting for a reply   

I may be going.............the long way around ? i like the driving 

Guys - Update

I am getting nowhere with this one   

Contacted Paul Newbiggin at Stenna a few times now - he asked for me to send him an email, which he acknowledges came through a few weeks ago, and said he is too busy to deal with it. To be perfectly honest, he seems very reluctant to do anything about it on the phone and keeps telling me to leave it with him. You would think a near 5 grand booking would be a little more welcomed 

I`ll stay on the case with him (he is the manager there), but feels like I am dealing with someone who has perpetual PMT   

Had a chat with someone else in the office earlier who is going to see what they can do

we may all be going the long way around, the channel tunnel train is like one long tunnel if we park up front

not sure a flat out blast along it in 1st would be appreciated though.

But you are forgetting that it comes out in France

so you turn left and head for the border only around 20 miles so no stopping required.

Right Buggers, I have now had an E-Mail back from Stenna with some discounted prices for our impending trip to Dusseldorf.

Any Newbies looking in, remember that this is open to you guys also, in fact its open to everyone reading this with an interest in Buggies as it will be one of the biggest collections of Buggies together in 2016, and the road trip is such an epic amount of fun. I will start a new thread shortly so that all proper info is in one place and easy to find, but this is the bit we need to book as soon as we can before the Ferry fills up. Its on a Euro bank holiday, so lots of them will be looking to travel.

We are planning on sailing out of Harwich Thursday 12th May 2016 on the Night Sailing to Hook of Holland
We are planning to return from Hook Of Holland Monday 16th May 2016 on the Night Sailing back to Harwich.

Thanks to Paul Newbiggin at Stenna, Discounted prices are as follows:


Car                                                   £80.00 return

Trailer up to 4m                                £56.00 return

Drivers and passengers                   £29.00 per person return


Cabins are Mandatory, but come with showers, en suite and a TV

Single inside cabin                           £64.00 per cabin return

2-berth inside cabin                         £84.00 per cabin return (£42.00 per berth return)


If I have my sums correct, that makes 2 Adults in a Buggy, sharing a cabin  £222.00  for the return trip


Prices for other cabin types and trailer lengths available on request.
And for those of you staying out there an extra few days with Flags, just let Stenna know your preferred return date when booking.


You can book direct with:

Paul Newbiggin on 01255 202311 and he does prefer people to send their details by e-mail  paul.newbiggin@stenaline.com

He is quite difficult to pin down, so may be easier to book via any of his team supervisors (Reference Beach Buggy Club) for booking and payment

Their number is 01255 202352 and is manned pretty much from 07:00 – 20:00 7 days a week



Once you have booked, please let me know on here, so that we can ensure that everyone is kept up to date with any other travel arrangements

Nice one Dave, Hudge Buggy all booked £222 all in, very helpful on the phone , no probs, sooooo looking forward to it and being noisy.

Brilliant - Nice to know it was easy to book !!

Does anyone have contacts with the German Club for arranging the food and camping payments?

Thanks Hudge, I have their facebook page already but was wondering if anyone is in regular contact with anyone over that way?

Beate is the name of the lady who host their FB page just under the heading so a direct contact to her would be a starting point i guess.

The northern crew at the moment just consists of me, Ryan at the moment isn't going. So I'm thinking unless there are some others like Krug or Brigalo going via hull, I'll drive down and meet the MBC and roll along with them via harwick.
