Thought I would let everyone know about the good deal I got on next years Dover-Calais ferry on Thursday through Sea France, £70 return, it was £60 on Wednesday night but there was a mention of fuel surcharge @ £10, this had disappeared on Thu so can only assume it has been included like P&O are doing.

We go out Sun 16th July, 10pm (After the Lincoln show) and back Sat 29th, 10am.

For info other prices I got for similar times are as follows, if it did not cost me the best part of £100 each way in diesel to get to Dover I would have jumped at the tunnel.

Norfolkline - £85
P&O - £90
Eurotunnel - £124

Where do you catch the ferry from then?

I travel from the Coldstream / Cornhill border all the way to Dover.

Is there a better/shorter connection for Calais?

I just meant that if it did not cost me £200 in fuel to get to Dover and back then I would happily have shelled out the extra £55 to get on the tunnel as it is a lot less hassle. I wish there was an easier way from up north, 10 hr drive to the ferry every time, unless you can afford the Rosyth -Zeebrugge crossing but I can never get a quote below £550 - I have two kids so I would need a cabin,the aircraft style seats are not an option.

Just booked daylight hours sailings with P&O Out March back May for £80.

I like P&O ........but then i still shop at the Coop. Sad

The incredible thing is that they all cut the basic rate but still want £20/£30 extra for the dog to sit on the car deck.Presume the cost accountants see that as a charge that will be paid because it is still cheaper than kennels.

Ah well,if he wants to come with me ,the £30.oo is coming out of his piggy bank.

Hi moondog

I have two dogs....so it is twice as much from their piggy bank!

I can't wait to see my dogs running in the Italian hills.

One of my destinations next summer is "Chianciano Terme" - a spa town 70 miles south of Florence. I have walked miles in that area and never seen a soul! Only a few wine tasting places here and there!

Hello Rapide

Think the dog and i will creep over into Italy this Spring.
Just reading a book by Annie Hawes ...'' Extra Virgin '' About life in the Ligurian hills between Genoa and France.We will use that as a basis for an exploration.

Hi Rapide and Moondog, if you take your dogs to Italy try and keep them out of the long grass. Quite a few areas have Ticks and they love attaching to dogs. They seem to prefer the long grass and jump onto passing dogs.
