    Cheers both. The only issue we have with an overnight is the mutt. We did it on the way to Outer Hebs. He’s so protective. Barked at everyone walking past/closing the door in the hotel. Almost spent the night in the car with him but he eventually went off. We could all Kip in the car I suppose...

    I do like Steve’s suggestion of the Alps though as well.

    Thanks Alex. Summer of 2024 we’re looking at. And veering more towards La Brenna now with the suggestions above. I think I’m just going to have to man up with the shuttle. Would only do it for the dog. Which leads me to I’m really sorry for your loss. They are such a part of the family. A mate...

    Cheers Charles. I think 30 odd hours on the ferry would be too much for all of us. Different if it was just me. Sea watching all the way👍

    Cheers John. A cabin could be an option. He gets very stressed on the ferry. I’m going to look at what accommodation is available in the La Brenna region. It is very much a family holiday so I have to book something we’ll all like. Rich

    Cheers Kits. All the boys (dog included) are pretty good in the car. We really are limited to the Channel Tunnel unfortunately. But we’re used to long drives. Last year it took us 16 hours to get back from North Uist. Though I’m not too keen to repeat that 😉

    Hi all. Seriously considering taking the clan to France next Summer. It’ll be the whole clan which includes the hound. This rules out using the ferry as he’d not tolerate being in the car on his own with car alarms going off everywhere. I doubt if I’d have much of an interior left to come back...
