Just wondering
Discussion
Evening
I have the first week off work in January (02/01 - 08/01) and been mulling it over this last week. Is it possible to have a quick trip continental Europe?
I'm based Manchester way so I suppose 2 days will be driving to Dover and Back so that leaves what 5 days. The more I think about it, the more it may feel rushed but I do need to do something.
Maybe I should wait until next batch of annual leave and do 2 weeks
Thoughts much appreciated.

Well wasn't thinking of the mountains, more so a quick blast to Germany / Stuttgart and check out the Porsche / Mercedes museums. meant I woke up next day with the whole day ahead of me

Dash off to the overnight Hull crossing after work on Friday evening to maximise days available.
You'd be in Holland on Saturday morning and on the road by 9am at the latest.
Be aware that Stuttgart is a bloody long way and will require at least one full-on day of driving in each direction, mostly on Autobahns, to make the holiday worthwhile.
Yeah that's what Ive been thinking the more been looking at it today / this evening. You'd be in Holland on Saturday morning and on the road by 9am at the latest.

Think Ill save it for when I have more time / annual leave.
Maybe ill try something like Bruges or Ghent. Or Amsterdam
but somewhere outside the city with easy links to town.One point I've noticed today, the ferries from Hull are expensive even when you book way in advance.

You've got a week off? easily enough time
Back in 2012 I did London - Nurburgring - London in ONE day
left London at 5am, back in London 1am - 800 miles
Remember Winter Tyres are required in Germany if weather is bad
eurotunnel FTW
travel at night for efficient miles
easily cruise at 120/130 leptons on the Belgium Straights (E42 past Brussels)
Wow that's some serious driving going on there!Back in 2012 I did London - Nurburgring - London in ONE day
