Not cheap, but well worth doing.
Ferry overnight cabin from Pompey to Le Havre and overnight cabin return from Bilbao £650 with Brittany Ferries.
2nd week in June was spot on.
Camp sites are all up and running for the new season, but still quiet. Always found somewhere to stay when not wild camping. Just before the big heat to.
Blessed with great weather on the Spanish side for the whole trip to.

HI Davey
I know it's a little off topic but where did you get your winch plate, I noticed you don't have one of those winch bumpers and I would rather keep the original bumper.

Zac (Banshee) is the person on here I had to thank for that.
He provided the ebay link and I went for a sniping bid and won it!
It’s a proper Certificated German Teubenreuther one in three bits. 8mm powder coated.
The the really good guy said it was in a job lot of bits he bought for his car restoration work and had no need for it. He even dropped it off to me where I was working in Winchester as he had to pick up a Camaro straight off the boat at Southampton. He’d come down from Coventry!.
Certainly one of my bargain purchases at £50.
When I was looking for one, I think West Coast could do one for pretty good money. Try Escape 4x4 in Poland to.
