Hi Longdog

I will be going across about the same time , I booked my crossing yesterday with P&O online. My van is 8.5 metres long and the fare was £98.00. Last year I paid £135.00 for the same crossing but with a shorter van. I usually book early to get a good price. Have a look on line you can make a booking up to the part where you confirm without any costs, so you can try different crossing times.

Hope this helps & good luck

Our van is 7.25m.
We had already got 2 Dover/Calais bookings one for April and one for June. Out 6am and back 8.30am at £138.00. Made those before Christmas.
We made another 2 weeks ago, same times but for September and the price is £100.00.

It pays to book early. Crying or Very sad

Hi longdog

Will you be looking to overnight/stay on campsites or aires.

In planning your route you should take into account that many campsites in France will have closed after the season, if not on the journey down then certainly on the way back.

There is a fair bit of information either on the site already or with members which is there for the asking.

Good luck with the planning which for us is probably the most exiting bit.
