Ferry Crossings

I have just had a response from Norfolkline who gave us (I think) the cheapest channel crossing of all the 2007 entrants. This year they offered 10% off the internet price which seems to be £58 return, making the cost £52.20. I am not sure if they would make that generally available but if you are interested I will compile a list and see if I can get a group booking and maybe a further discount. The only downside is that it is Dover - Dunkirk which is a two hour sail then about 25 mile drive to Calais. Last year not only was it cheap but they were also very flexible on sailings even when we missed the one we eventually booked. Either stick on a post or email me if you are interested.

Cheers Kieth, good info.

Sorry, Keith!

Hiya Keith.
Add 5 vehicles from me onto your list please.

ther will be more form me.

thanx and well done

Rafe and I also went Norfolk Line Dover-Dunkirk, as did TJ & Andybloke of Team Remember Chernobyl. Good price, good ferry, a doddle driving from Dunkirk to Calais.

Also, of what I read on the forum from the Landy Rally team's research, they don't mind full jerricans either whereas other flatly refuse! Please confirm somebody.

Bill, are we one of your 5 vehicles??

aye, but tis oan hold the noo to see if somit develops from the Norfolk line approach.


'Keith' any news from your fold regarding this.

The latest news is I have booked Kieran on the 04:00 on Wed and us on the 16:00 Fri both returning 12:00 on the Sat. Kierans cost 46.80 mine 52.20 when I originally enquired (January) they said I could have more vehicles at the same price do you want me to try, if so how many and what times ?

May I ask what costs the tris were?
Please?
so that we can compare

Bill - please interpret "tris" my Scotch goes no further than the bottle.

Gawd, memo to mesilf.
Dinna type when fingers are intoxicated.

How muchy were the tickets so that we can compare.

so sorry.

See my post two or three back. Kierans price £46.80 but he travels at 04:00 and mine is £52.20 but travel at a more sensible 16:00. Both of us are returning on the 12:00 the following Sat. The price does vary depending on which sailing you choose.

Och sory keith, I appear to have lost the plot today.
I'm gonna lie doon.

anon

haha - I have also spkn to Norfolk Line, but regarding travelling at approx 12-1pm on the Friday (Dover-Dunkirk) and returning the Sat/Sun the week after...they have said that they will try and sort something out! I should know today....I will also post something as soon as I know I may be the same deal, it may be worse, it may be better...ya nva know!

There's those 4 parking spaces, and a grass bank, that are technically inside the campsite grounds, but outside the barrier .... you could sleep there.
