I'm off to Bruges in December for a visit to the Christmas markets and thought I might take the Noble. I did take a car on the Eurotunnel many years ago and as I recall it was quite a tight turn getting on. So, has anyone taken their Noble on it before and not made themselves a laughing stock trying to turn into a carriage?

Thanks Rob, weather permitting that's what I'll do then.

I imagine it wouldn't be fun going onto the top deck but the turn into the carriage is fine. We manage to get new Range Rovers on there, so width wise you'll have no issues.

When I went we were redirected into the bottom section, also the ferry guys stopped the queue so I could cross the ramp at an angle on the way over to save the splitter, really good service that from both companies.

Top or bottom easy, just watch your alloys on each of the loo sections where the wiggle is, or fold in your wing mirrors.. If you have tyres that sit proud of the alloys you can drive with no issues.

Watch those loo sections, they almost caught me out previously.

You can choose to be classified as a 'high' vehicle which means you go in with the buses / coaches etc. The entry is very flat and there's only a lower deck which is also wider / has narrower walkways. Have a word when you book your crossing, they're very helpfull and should accomodate you no probs.

Remember your Euros for the traffic cops ;-)

I went last year to Brugges for the Xmas market - you'll love it.

I've taken mine thru the Eurotunnel many times, and they have always directed me onto the lower deck, even if the flow of traffic is going on the upper deck. Width isn't a problem as I take my Range Rover on it too.

I've taken the Eurotunnel back & forth last year with the Noble, no problem at all turning in/out !

For ground clearance, they put my car twice in the busses compartment (so no ramps for me)

BTW : Welcome to my home town Bernhund smile !
