I've tried it a couple of times, but every time I got intercepted and sunk, or had to abort after hitting a blasted mine. Has anyone made it all the way through in one piece?

Yes have made it a few times
To get over the mines problem I use a program called SH3GEN which marks your map as to minefields
The bit between Dover and Calais is the worst for enemy ships
Try running with " decks awash " so dive times are shorter
Run silent and keep speeds to 2 kts when you pick up a sonar contact
I normally time it so I try to enter the channel when its dark so can run on surface till I spot anything
Its difficult but can be done
