It's about 350 Kms from Calais to Spa-Francorchamps. Antwerpen should be the closest port to Spa (roughly 150 Kms). I don't know whether there are ferries going there from the UK, though.
Antwerp hasn't got a ferry port, the closest one is Ostend. Dover to Ostend takes 4,5 hrs, Ostend to Spa should take you no more than 2,5 hours via Brussels.

A few of our crew will be there aswell Grin :cool:

In that case Dover Calais then drive the rest is quicker, if you don't mind driving. Also added petrol cost I guess...but I bet the Ostend ferry is more than DoCal

I prefer the Dover-Calais crossing myself, Coquelle - Folkstone is even better. If booked early enough, the Channel Tunnel can be as cheap as 120 quid for a return ticket. Ferries might be cheaper, but they are slower and more unreliable.
I used to drive to the UK with an Artic for quite some time, so ferries can be soooo boring as far as I'm concerned Undecided

You're either at Le Mans, or waiting for Le Mans!

Paddy, I saw the photo of yourself that you posted a few weks ago and now the above imformation.  Did you used to drive for Van Stratten a few years ago and deliver to Naarden International in Northampton ? If it wasn't you then it was someone who looked a lot like you.

No Bob, sorry Undecided
I drove for Schoonen Transport between '92 - '94, they don't exist anymore. It was mostly perishables (spelling?) I drove, like bananas for Geest and chips to various addresses around the UK. Back then it was quite normal for me to make the crossing 6 times a week, the only positive thing were the tax free booze & fags Smiley

I lived in London between '94 and '97, worked for Jan de Rijk at the Heathrow-office and did some temping work for BOC Baker and (in)Sainsbury's.
