Anyone making the ferry trip soon?
Bit of a odd request but due to brexit / other factors at play its increasingly difficult to import the batteries i need for my RC boats

i normally take the ferry from Hull - Rotterdam just to collect a few RC boat pieces but im a little tight for time being overseas. (top tip its much cheaper than NCL - AMS ferry)

Just wondering if anyone is making the trip and could stick some in the back of the truck for me?

also have a new charger / cover and a few propellors i need to post over but can take the hit on the postage / customs on this.

batteries in question are around 750 grams, about the size of a can of beer

Batteries are for powering my new build "Straight away boat" capable of speeds 140mph+ (not scale actually 140mph+)

Obviously beer tokens will be involved for anyone who can help.

Going in late December but to Germany not Holland. I guess that's no use? 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

Germany is actually preferred as that's where my kit is / the battery supplier but was hoping for someone in the next 6 weeks..

Worst case if i can't get these batts over i can bodge together from other boats and hit you up in December unless anyone else is making the trip sooner

The UK Straight away race is now scheduled for end of October

Cheers
