Stranded Brits on Amsterdam stag-do buy bikes to complete epic 230-mile mission home
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 enjoyed a boozy bender 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 (4/6) - 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.
Amazingly, 13 of the 14 managed to buy a bike in just three hours - at a total cost of more than £1,300.
And, arriving in Calais, the last member of the group convinced a young couple to let him into their car for the crossing.
This meant all 14 arrived safely in Dover - just 12 hours after their flight had been cancelled.
Groom-to-be Alex Sisan, 29, said: "We had the craziest day, but we just wanted to get home - we ended up spending €1,540 (£1,300) on bikes!
"At the time it didn’t feel like fun, but I had two of the best days of my life with 13 best friends and this just topped it off.
