Ha !
I'm sitting on the ferry top Denmark, typing like a madman to get a few notes down before the gale force wind hit us (or the waves, more correctly). Should be pretty heavy sea in about an hour, I think its pretty wobbly already..

(smiley feeling sick)
Well, after a catalogue of mishaps, I was finally off from Martin and Karen's at 8.15pm yesterday. That was more or less exactly 24hrs after the Bluebird started to play up when Martin was about to pick me up in York. Cutting a long story short, fuel and ignition problems wrecked most of Martin's Thursday, which I feel very sorry for. But, on the other hand, it was nice to get it all sorted and not losing hundreds of pounds on non-refundable ferry tickets.
Got to somewhere-north-of Peterborough last night, and parked up about 1130pm. Continued this morning and got fuel supply problems again near the Suffolk border. One call to Martin fixed that

Thanks, Mr Maltas.
Managed to get to Harwich on time for boarding (with some time to spare) after annoying fellow motorists for the best part of 24hrs by doing 45-50mph - when they ideally wanted to go a bit faster..
Some pics before my "pay for one hour internet access" on the ferry is up:
Breakdown near Selby..
Breakdown again...
And again...
But despite ending up having far less time to get from Yorks to Essex than originally allowed for, I got to Harwich International Port on time. What a great feeling!
And the Bluebird is nicely tucked away on the ferry, on its way to Denmark. Bet he's never been there before
So - when getting to Denmark tomorrow afternoon, the second leg will start. Another long drive from the bottom to the top of Denmark - and the then next ferry to Oslo. Fingers crossed that everything goes well.
Will report as and when I can get connected to internet again.
Now I'm gonn find that cabin and lie down - hopefully - before I'm sick. This is one rough ride!
