We set off from home at 6.00 am this morning, and got to the P and O check-in at Dover at 10.31! That's no different to our normal journey!! We used the A2/M2, and there was little traffic, no queue at all down into the port, and at the roundabout at the entrance to the port we were waved through ahead of all the queueing traffic coming from the M20. P and O were running extra crossings, but we wanted to wait for our booked crossing as we hoped to meet up with friends.
There were no 'marauding strikers' or pickets at the port of Calais, and nothing going on that I could see. There was no 'migrant activity' visible either, in or around Calais, and we had a smooth journey to our hotel, with only one glimpse of an (ex) farmers blockade, with a pile of tyres on a roundabout at the entry to the autoroute near Abbeville.
There are an awful lot of worried people around, but in the scheme of things, whilst it may play havoc with your timings, it may well not.
I said on another forum yesterday that we weren't worried, and would just take it as it comes, and fortunately we have absolutely no need to worry.
