I don't fit comfortably in a single, so a double for single occupancy please.

What time for the ferries also? I thought I'd take the morning ferry again and aim to get to the hotel for about 3pm with a stop or two on the way, might even get a couple of runs in on the Friday evening.

If we get the 0810 out on the Friday morning and the 2030 back on the Sunday with priority boarding it would be £82 return.

Route takes between 4 1/2 to 5 hours so there by 1400 and a couple of laps on the Friday.

Is it a plan?

Is it a coincidence that both those sailings are on the new P&O ferry. Either way they would suit me fine.

But your timings are out Mike, 0810 would see us leaving Calais at about 11am, then add a stop or two on the way, so we'll be arriving at about 5pm, subject to the vagaries of traffic.

tintin
Revo_Ben
CtL

and Singh in an M5......................

Mike,

I'm only tentative for this at the moment - work is likely to get in the way on these dates (sad but true...). I'll shout if this changes to a definite yes.
