Travelling to The Somme

Pick up points

1. Dover Priory Railway station if you're travelling by rail
2. Faversham (my home town), some 25 miles from Dover, just off the M2 (where you can park for free)
3. Any town in Northern France or Belgium, by mutual agreement.
4. Any London airport

Transport

Air conditioned MPV car with plenty of leg room and luggage space.

I have been driving for 30 years and have insurance and breakdown cover for travel abroad.  I also have public liability insurance.
