£209 going out and the same return for an early may trip

I got 144 out and return.
we need an average and set dates for this to work.

gives us summat work around till everyone knows if they can roughly do it.

 

[exosteve]

that each way 300ish total

Just don Quick quote on Brittany ferries:
4X4 2 Adults 1 child outbound 8th June Return 15th June £348 return(Plus Cabin )

im not even getting that sort of quote in may and mine says no cabin :doh

if the group decide on june i will have to bow out early i will be touring on my bike in june st bernadino pass amoung other nice bike roads of europe

i think all those who have expressed an interest need to agree with your self a rough date

Think Mrs and I would like to have a go at this in the summer, but prob need to avoid school hols, will give it lots of thought but def interested, will need to look at costs all round, I used to get ferries for free but do not suppose the same contacts are about any more, I am talking in the 70's could go dover/calais or Portsmout/Leharve any time and get a free bottle and 200 fags and a meal for nowt for me the Mrs and Tara our daughter, so one two way trip gained us 6 bots scotch and 600 fags, they were the days, Rick

There isn't much difference in the price May June, look at the days , its cheaper to travel mid week. May or June is ok with me.
Lets say late may, who can do that ?

So what sort of price for a 4 wheel ramp up trailer to carry 2 Tonnes, Rick

That sort of size I think it would only be cheaper here if you were buying a new one. Second hand thing here are far more expensive, especially cars etc, roughly double the UK price.
