A stag do stranded in Amsterdam after their flight was cancelled went on an epic 230-mile mission home - and were forced to buy bikes from locals to catch the ferry back. The British lads had taken a break in the Dutch capital and spent two days enjoying the sights and sounds.
They were booked onto an easyJet flight to return to London Gatwick at 1:25pm on Saturday - which was then scrapped. Their options to return to Britain by air or rail were limited so the 14-strong party decided the best route was take a train to Calais and board a ferry.
But when they called up to ask about the crossing to Dover they were told foot passengers were not allowed - although bikes were. Undeterred, the group spent the afternoon buying two-wheelers from locals in Brussels and Lille by running into shops and looking on Facebook.
