Hull to Rotterdam / Zeebrugge overnight ferry is a good trip - check out the P&O website for offers! http://www.po-ferries-uk.co.uk

To throw a little curve ball ? If you are travelling for future non flying out stock I would  recommend other routes othan than by ferry. (re travelling from Glasgow)

 

From Roysth it costs a small fortune and does not take pigeons. Travelling to Hull is good but it is  a long journey. 14 hours. This is all wasted time .  In addition there is a plethora of fanciers going over to the continent almost on a weekly basis to Belgium who can bring them back for you.

 

So i would recommend taking the Easy Jet flight from Glasgow/Prestwick to Charleroi (South of Belgium). The cost of this can be as low as 1 pound + taxes. From Charleroi you can get a train to anywhere in Belgium for 10 euros return.  You are there in hours rather than a day.

 

If you are going to a specific area  a car need not even be a requirement. There are always Belgian fanciers willing to take you round lofts. (of course you need to know the area, they won’t just take you round the whole country)

 

Once the birds are bought there are many fanciers who will bring the birds back for a small price. Of course if they are from the nest to fly out this is not useful.

also make sure you have all the relevent paperwork or your purchases could be confescated at the port!
