The surplus stuff was DHL-ed Home. Sleeping bag, sleeping pad and some small bits. The train journey from Canterbury to Calais was a non event. We were 7 foot passengers. One oriental girl, 3 Chinese who spoke good French, me, two mature French women. Each probably paying 30 pounds. A car is 60 pounds. Clear rip off. I walked about 2km from the ferry to my accommodation a minute flat near the plage. Slept well.
