(assuming you're catching the ferry from Harwich) Sorry Steve, but I'm going south. Last time I went with Stena I swore myself never to go with them again. It's a lot cheaper, faster and less hassle to drive all the way down to Calais and catch the train. I am simply not prepared to pay 430,- for an eight hour journey each way, and be obligated to take a cabin when sailing overnight (yes, those costs are extra of course). Last year I asked for a return sailing to go to Donington LMS by camper van, and they dared to ask 760,- for a weekend return!!  Ufck 'm!  |

They made it worse, and it makes me laugh. Idiots   price is based on one small camper van, 5 persons (1 child), three berths on return trip (obligated)...and then to think I paid 154 for a return by le Shuttle |

Thanks Lorry, I still prefer the train though. Smooth crossing...  28 minutes flat...  |

So I guess we are taking the campervan down for sure now?
I could handle part of the driving, so no need for you to keep off the booze on sunday, just don't overdo it.

Do you guys need camping gear if the van sells or even if it doesn't?

Thanks for the offer Anita, but if the camper van is sold we can come over with the missus' car which can carry a top box. You might have seen the box this year at Brands Hatch, LT borrowed it for that trip.
So we should have plenty of space to get all our gear over...
