Fwiw, diesel prices are I think cheaper in the Netherlands than surrounding countries or here, and cheapest of all in Poland.
I hope the M25 etc plays ball for getting to the ferry/Chunnel.
Thanks, top tip
we're trying to be as efficient with the cash as possible, it's all going into my Starling account so there's no international currency charges.
We've invested some of the money in sub-zero sleeping kit for 10x people (Sleeping bag, camp bed and blanket - costs about £80 per person). Eurotunnel booked for tomorrow afternoon. I wanted to take 1000 foil blankets out too, however the supplier who was going to get them here have not received their delivery so won't be able to send any to us before we leave.
Also spent the last 24 hours trying to connect with refugee charities and centres that know the status of people coming to the UK, however, the government's approach has changed so recently that nobody quite knows when we'll be able to bring people back here. A couple of Polish locals in London have volunteered to help research and link us with people on the ground in Poland. It will probably have all changed again by the time we get there on Thurs/Fri, so very hard to plan ahead.
