Norfolkline - Dover to Dunkerque (it's only 10 minutes from Calais at racing speed), still show a price of £19 each way if booked during October for Tuesday til Monday. BUT - you have to travel after 11pm  |

Used Norfolkline last year for car + caravan. Food is good & cheap. Boats are good. Crossing is cheap & slow. Dunkirk was a nightmare on the return journey - no good signposts.
Overall, I' d use them again but not in a hurry.

I don't really understand what's going on with the prices from Channel Tunnel. Few week ago I did a weekend return by van for E42,-. Now I'm trying to book LMES Donnington, no cheaper than E 187,-  |

If your save Tesco Club Card points then use them to pay for you eurotunnel crossing. They are worth 4 x the face value, ie £10 of vouchers is worth £40 in crossing vouchers.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Paddy, now you know why we make all the fuss about the ferry (same with air fares to Sebring!). You can pay anywhere £30 and £600 for the same trip. Double that if you've got a caravan.
And you're lucky, because we know that they charge the continentials less.

Ita a game you have to play (to win). Sea France the other way is £60. The website won't book the other way, and eventually I broke into the French side, and they're not giving prices for August!
All part of the game. Good luck, and as they say in Latin - Nil illegitimi carborundum (don't let the bastards grind you down)
