The ferry costs a fortune but if you look carefully you can save a bit by changing the ferry times until you find a cheaper crossing. It's costing me about £120 return for the car and caravan which I'm paying for with Tesco vouchers. Most sites on the island do deals including the ferry which usually work out a lot cheaper than paying for the ferry and site separately.

Chris, have a look at the the C & CC site and the CC site, also Whitfield Forest but get a pitch away from the road as it can be noisy.

Sterling 1999, how is Byfleet these days? I worked there years ago and it must have changed a lot since Brooklands became a shopping centre.

The last 3 years is not much of a change but the 30 years i have lived here a huge amount of change. Brooklands as it was is my spiritual home,how do you know I live in Byfleet?

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Iain, I must have seen your advert. I used to work in Chertsey Road in the 70's and when CAF bought the site in Berry Lane John Berry's daughter worked for us for a while. I then went to work for CAF in Staines and then opened the Leatherhead branch for them in 1982 so our paths may have crossed if I hadn't moved away.

Rob

Wow yes I have had my business since 1990 I think I know Johns daughter, still use CAF now

We're going to Southland in May, only £1 per night pitch fee plus the per person fee. The C & CC site at Adgestone has a playground and a pool plus a fantastic wendy house.

Iain, if you happen to see Sheila Berry ask her if she remembers the purchasing dept at Gestetner. It's a small world isn't it?

Rob

That is a bargain £295 for 2 weeks, ferry included!!!!!
