Not only that but unless they have improved that ramp you have nae chance of getting a sports car up it. Thats why most of the Tiv guys on here used to drive to Newcastle for their LeMans/Ring trips.

as previously said my very low T350 had no problem twice last year and once the year before, also richards sag had no problem with it.G

I just checked for a return trip With Norfolk line from Rosyth to Zebrugge 13-19 June, 1 car 2 people = £676.00
Same time with DFDS Seaways from Newcastle £316. Hmmm I wonder which one I'll take.
And the DFDS line runs every day, unlike the Norfolk line, which is 3 times a week.
Although having a look at it, it is also £676 for 4 folk, so it could just be that we (i.e. a couple) are the wrong demographic for them and they are hoping for family travel.Same time with DFDS Seaways from Newcastle £316. Hmmm I wonder which one I'll take.

Saying that, 4 folk with DFDS is £384. Still a huge saving for an extra 4 hours (each way) drive.

I went from Hull last time. 11 odd hours on a boat is pretty much as much as I can stand. I think the extra 8 hours or whatever it is from Rosyth would drive me mental.
That said I might feel a bit differently if I lived further north and had several hours drive just to get to Rosyth, or had a lot of driving (e.g. 8 hours plus) to do on the other side.

My 2p's worth :-
Go via Newcastle to IJMuiden - way better autobahn fodder ( assumuing your heading to The Ring)
Going via Zeebrugge to the Ring means sloooooooow traffic near Brussels = dull drive !
Hope this Euro parity rapidly changes !
Seconded, much better service, and the roads are way better from Ijmuiden. Very tolerant lot over here.Go via Newcastle to IJMuiden - way better autobahn fodder ( assumuing your heading to The Ring)

And the quay staff at Ijmuiden all seem to be petrolheads! Good bunch of people, more than prepared to help out with groups/low slung cars etc.
Excellent fish cafe/restaurant on the quay at Ijmuiden, for future reference if yoiu are waiting. Pass the Terminal office and continue down the road by the side of it - car park on the point, great view of the harbour and so on, and really good grub. And beer!!
