Shocking price mate..... I'd want at least Free Food and a nice House and Benefits When I crossed the Channel !!!!

I always take the cheap option. A terrifying trip through the tunnel and pack a tent.
Easier for me though, as it's only a few miles for me to get to France and get started on my trips. Not much fun when you need a long journey before you even get out of the country.

When we had the villa near Alicante the Portsmouth-Santander-Bilbao routes were convenient and when getting off it was a easy 7.5-8 hour easy run down.
However when we go "touring" it's the tunnel every time.

I was impressed with how quickly I got from Bilbao to Xativa. The roads were excellent.

Ed, on the other hand, was in the truck, towing the digger, alongside a son that had pressed ‘avoid motorways’ on the sat nav. When he found himself reversing down a mountain track, he re-set it!

Not knowing anything about Spain whatsoever..... I can't really add anything here ....... But Bob, I was following a Testarossa earlier through Yeovil and I have to say what an impressive car it was ...... even Sammy said Wow.... Our Punto was struggling to catch it up but we got there eventually...........

Coming back from Peterborough on Sat i let a Ferrari Californian pass me (cause looked like a pretty blonde in the passenger seat), Shirl said that's nice, i said she looks like a right dog, the car you moron she said. I said the Californian is the cheapest entry level Ferrari, Shirl said buy one. Told you she is mad.

I see Irish Ferries are now doing Dover/Calais.

Seems a bit Irish

That Direct Ferries (DF??) Calais-Dunkirk will take some beating on cost
