The first trip to the UK for 2025..
" Punctures, Tunnels, Bridges, cancelled ferries and Tolls"
This trip which saw 3 private pet dogs and 1 cat accompany 11 rescue dogs and 5 rescue cats to their forever homes in the UK was, to say the least a war of attrition. Two motorway blow outs, freezing fog, snow and ice through France along with two huge traffic jams and then the cancellation of the ferries put us hours behind schedule. With the fantastic support of the rescuers, owners and adoptors, spurring us on we finally made it to the UK and set about delivering the dogs and cats. Dartford tunnel and the QE11 bridge were followed by the Prince of Wales bridge into Wales and the Tunnel under the Tyne before heading up to Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth and back to the Mersey Tunnel. Once all the pets were in their forever homes we set about collecting the 3 dogs that were booked to enjoy their holidays in Spain. Back to Dover and then the long drive back through France to get these pets and ourselves home.
Anyway here are some photos of our precious passengers and some kind messages sent by their owners and rescuers.
