Tony Jones Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Nice deal Adrian - especially for high season, without booking at Christmas! Do you do the run from Cumbria in one go, or stop over on the way down? (Totally off-thread bit of reminiscence - ignore if your prefer) When we lived up there (further out, in Millom) we used to book an early morning ferry (say Sunday), get off in the evening (Friday), stay over somewhere in Lancs, then head down to the channel (more often one of the Brit Ferries ports) and sleep over in the ferry queue. They used to let you do that "back in the day," and even sent someone round to knock on your door in the morning in time for early loading!

rossifan Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Paying a lot more for May 30th-June 14th crossings-BUT ferries are at sensible times and van is 7.04 metres. Costs are based on supply & demand, a fact that Sea France are only too aware of.Can only assume you have a van thats under 6.5m and you are travelling off peak times and days. Have a good holiday.

We have crossings booked at similar dates (slap bang in the middle out) also first week in September for £54 return both times, at sensible for us times of the day i.e. 1400 out and 0900 return at the weekend. Van is 7m length and 3m high. So it seems maybe you just have to look a bit more carefully! Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
