Well that's the ferry booked!

........and parking with a caravan is no fun. 

With you there, Lorry.  You can get round to the Air Balloon and park up with a 'van - a right sh*t-hole of a pub but the beer isn't (or wasn't) bad.

We got caught going down last year, in a french village looking for coffee and coissant .  I had to reverse the caravan about 10 foot up a footpath and then drive off up the pavement.

Why is there nowhere decent en route to stop for breakfast?

We've been caught out in several places over the years - both parking and the petit dejeuner offered.  Don't bother now - just get to LM, pitch up then relax with a beer.

 My plan for the caravan fry up is mainly to keep the whining of "I'm Hungry" to a minimum. I have two of them with me this year so feeding is not optional

Ferries are a pain this year as LD Lines seem to have reduced the service from Newhaven.  Couldn;t go to Le Mans last year but the year before came back Le Havre to Newhaven, which was an excellent option.

Looks like I'll be doing Dover - Calias this year.

Have you thought about LD lines Dover-Boulogne route? Currently around £45 return car + 2 out Weds back Mon for LM weekend.

Same as last year for us, Portsmouth - St Malo on the Wednesday night and back Monday after with Brittany Ferries, I know its more expensive but hey....think of the BAR TIME!! Sh*t, Shower, Shave and Breakfast on the boat Thursday morning landing at a decent 8ish, get to Le Man about 11.00am....Very Civilised

Yes but want to come back Sunday evening!  So contemplating LDLines Dover - Boulogne out, and P and O calais-Dover back.

Pondered Norfolk Line to Dunkirk but its an extra 30 minutes in the car each way!
Anyway must book something!
