Thats pretty much how we plan to do it next year although being from up north its a lunch time(or dinner as we call it) departure for us. We cannot decide on ferry- pompy to Caen or go the long way through the tunnel. You going next year Dave?
Forget Pompey-Caen, school hols kicking off, return will be about £700 or so. The tunnel is a bloody long way for just a weekend. No, those with a brain used Newhaven-Dieppe/Le Havre. Classic 2006 cost less than £100 return from memory. And only £200 return for this year's 24 Hour.
