Ramsgate. Handy for trips across the channel to our neighbours in FranceDont know if they still do the ferries from there?
I used to go to Broadstairs and Margate as a kid, on vacation. It was a short hop from Ilford in Essex. Used to go by Hovercraft to Calais from Ramsgate, but I gather they no longer exist these days.
We actually had some great day trips to France and at silly low prices.
yeah, I took the hovercraft a couple of times but always the crossing was a little rough and I didn't feel like doing much upon arrival
Funny the way some posts bring back forgotten memories.
For me those were happy days and happy holidays with my mum and dad.
And various g/f's
