Does any one know if there are any problems with driving off Speed ferries 
in Bolougne and accessing the motorway to Caen. Are there any blockades and 
how do I avoid them?

Saw kilometres of parked lorries west on A16 out of Calais but none on the 
east carriageway or around Caen. That said I suspect the current problems 
are likely to crop up anywhere and without much warning.

Best of luck - if you do find a blockade hope like us (and for a change) you 
get to see it on the other side of the carriageway.

Thanks for that Mike, were booked in to a hotel near Caen, and am allowing 4 
hrs to get there from Boulogne, there was a diesel shortage in  Northern 
France I believe, do you know if that has cleared up?

Did not see any shortages of diesel during our stay. Prices seem to be going 
up daily - as in UK - but as I am sure you know the cheapest diesel is 
generally at supermarket pumps (i.e Intermarche - Caen).
