We are considering that route for next year the ferry price for us would be about half what we are paying Portsmouth- Caen thids year, and less miles in the UK. will be interested to here about your trip on the french side, Drop in for a bier and have a chat. We are on MB from the 7th

Too right - the Porstmouth- Cherbourg crossing was working out at £360 (overnight in a cabin) whereas the Hull- Zeebrugge route including cabin, dinner & breakfast was £310.
Whilst the main benefit for us is less miles in the UK we only need to take a couple of hours off work on Wednesday afternoon rather than a half a day to get down to Portsmouth.
I don't think that the trip on the other side will be too bad as Zeebrugge is only about 90 miles from calais and according to autoroute the overall mileage to Le Mans is about 60 less than going via Portsmouth!!!
