Taking the Brittany Ferries crossing from Portsmouth to Caen this year.

Understand Brittany Ferries are good at accommodating low slung cars etc, but does anyone have experience/knowledge of the speed humps in Ouistream (Caen) Port ? I understand they're pretty aggressive speed humps, but appreciate anyone's first hand experience of navigating in/out of Ouistream port in a low slung car ?

I don't have front axle lift (yet). ;-)

Cheers Jon

I got caught out, last year first time on that route.

There are no signs either, the biggest one is just as you go up the ramp Portsmouth side.

Go very slow up them.

Thanks See Ya.

I've got ~3.5" ground clearance, so guess I'll have to take it slowly and transverse the speed humps etc in Caen Port.

Cheers Jon

Can be on the high side getting off the ramp at Caen (might be tide dependant?). I've managed to ground the exhaust. Just take it easy.
