Restricted Items on Ferries

I know this was discussed last year, but it's bound to come up again.

P+O are stricter than Norfolk Line, and the Chunnel are even worse, when it comes to carrying things.

LPG:
Advise the ferry company WHEN YOU BOOK if you're driving an LPG powered vehicle. Norfolk Line just want to know beforehand, and allow vehicles with fitted LPG tanks, or one removable refillable LPG tank.

Fuel:
No fuel in cans (including vapours) on Chunnel, P+O aren't keen, Norfolk Line don't care. Jerry cans should be inside the vehicle, or on the roof - not somewhere where they could be easily ruptured in a crash (so not on the back door). No point taking petrol or diesel with you - it's cheaper there.

Cooking gas:
Norfolk line should be told WHEN YOU BOOK if you are taking a refillable tank. One refillable tank is allowed, and must be stowed in a safe manner, closed (at the tank, not after the regulator).
For a "reasonable" amount of disposable gas cartridges (enough for the week, not a market stall) you don't need to notify them.

Compressed air: (in case you wanted to know)
Regular compressed air can be carried in certified/tested cylinders upto the rated test pressure on Norfolkline, without prior booking. Not allowed on the tunnel.

We discussed this loads last year - but Seafrance didn't seem at all bothered either when we got there. I know the tunnel is stricter though!

Good list for the newbies Andybloke - and Lu come to that.

'ere Lu, you and Tweedie at Billing?

Yep - from Thursday. See you there! You can't miss us - we're still all stickered up from LR last year - we'll be modifying the vinyls at some point ready for the Mac 4x4 in March.

We're gutted we can't do the LR this year - for lots of reasons - but particularly the fact that my little brother is getting married on a very inconvenient day! We did contemplate going straight to the wedding from the prize giving party in Calais and camping on the lawn of the very posh hotel where they are holding the reception - in our pop up tent with dusty post LR Landy. But it's not going to work! nevermind!

Lu :bom:

Shame, the hedgehog cake was all organised an' all!!!

Shame also as it's a completely different route this year with some interesting little bits 'n' bobs I'm not telling anyone about until nearer the time! Sorry, shouldn't be saying these things as it'll make you even more frustrated. Never mind, there's always next year.
