Some years ago they had 3 height limits, the lowest being 1.48 metres(?). In those days we booked by phone, and for some reason they booked our old Renault Espace in as being within the lower band. It wasn't, and we had to go on standby. We were number 2 of 6, but they didn't load the standby vehicles in order and we ended up being left all alone on the dockside.    As it happens we were taking a double mattress over to our cottage, and had visions of spending the night there, but we ended up being squeezed onto their freight ship, the Purbeck. That was an experience, especially going up & down on the lorry lift & being told that whatever we did, don't open the door! On balance, I think I would change the booking.  

What a great website. A question though: I looked up 'corde' there, and among other things it says it's the equivalent of 4 stères. Is that right - I always thought a corde was 3 stères?

Thanks - email now sent successfully. I might even get a reply.

I tried the email address, but it wasn't known. Neither was a .co.uk ending instead of .com. I couldn't see any obvious address on the website either, so I may actually have to post a real letter unless anyone else has an email that works?

Any idea what the technical problems were? Yesterday afternoon we were on the Normandie when just a few minutes out from Ouistreham in smooth seas it suddenly heeled over a LONG way, chucking people and stuff all over the place. Even the crew looked scared. All they announced - eventually - was that it was a 'technical problem' that had been resolved.

Perhaps LD Lines are having an effect?
