Not to bad at all.

I suggest we make a stop for bite to eat etc around half way, which is roughly Brussel's.
I have set up journey route in good old Tom Tom

Not sure if any part of the A3/E40 is unrestricted speed limit yet, still investigating
Dunkirk port is in the middle nowhere and not too close to the town.

I'd suggest getting past Brussels before stopping, it's a nightmare and the worst part of the journey. I hate the ring road with a passion and it's even harder in a convoy as people are easily separated due to sudden turn off and sheer volume of traffic.

E40 certainly is restricted as that's in Belgium which has a 120kmph limit. I ended up in the back of a police van and fined €175 this year (I was also 4mph away from being banned and car impounded). There are also speed cameras on the E40 either side of Brussels now.
