Tyson Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just got back from Lanzarote where I went with the family. My mum lives in Dublin so me and my sister were getting the ferry back to merry old England and due to hurricane Katia are ferry has been cancelled. Nothing anyone can do about it but just thought I would vent my frustration !!! They are seeing when they can get us back so that's something I suppose.

Soopra Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 i guess we should think ourselves lucky we just caught the tail end of a tropical storm, rather than the full force of a hurricane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried sailing out to Holyhead on Anglesey ( they sail from Dublin ) and driving up from there ? the crossing is only a couple of hours or so Cheers -Ian- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had booked another crossing it would have cost me 170 one way !!!! I only paid 180 for both ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
