It all depends on what company/route you choose, vehicle, what day, time of day etc.etc.
There has been much discussion about ferry prices in ghost123's thread: ''France here we come!''.

I think the best I got quoted for that route was £205 each way. I did not look at "return" tickets because we don't want to be tied down to a specific day to come back and I could not find any "open ended" return tickets listed.

Glad you are enjoying your trip :ok

Our "rush to get there" has abated somewhat due to the sudden arrival of Summer here :mrgreen:

Our plan now is to relax and wait for "Summer" to end, likely next week or the one after :lol: :lol: - Then set off.

I know, typically I left blighty a day before the weather got good. Having said that, it was still 34 degrees here at 8pm tonight, so better than the best of days back home.

Saw 3 T25s today and a few t1s. great to get a good old wave off them. Theres certainly less here than at home and they stand out a treat amongst all the coach built brand spanckers!
