I am new to this forum and it was introduced to me by a fellow TDM rider and member of this forum “muddy” last week on Friday morning I met him just before we boarded the Stena Line over to Holland on our TDMs.#
As soon as I get the photos of my camera, I can post a photo of both TDM’s up in Harwich port waiting to board the ship. tongue.gif

You are a bit like me then as I just moved there in september coming from London, Crown Wood Pub is just of the A322 roundabout if you coming from Twon going to Sainsburys, at that roundabout tur left instead of right and it's about 500 yards on the left near a St Martin's shop impossible to mis it.

What stuff have you been smoking in Holland blink.gif

Anyway you are absolutely correct, Holland has always been very very expensive to fill up and also the conversation rate and charges on top of that, kills it.

Humm 6AM is a bit suspicion but I guess G was feeling a bit guilty for letting me there all alone that he must of thought maybe you made up for it and stayed until the following morning there. rotflmmfao.gif

So are we going to arrange another meeting? I'll send you both a PM with mobile number.
