We live in Yorkshire too but always use the short crossings from Dover.  If you want to book the Hull to Zeebrugge crossing, here's a tip:  You can save quite a bit by booking through the Caravan Club and adding on some Camping Cheques This brings down the cost of the 'package' by more than the additional cost of the Camping Cheques.  Weekend crossings often have an offer of caravans go free, too, so check out dates carefully.

Here's a quote from someone mentioning a considerable saving and then if you sell the cheques on for say £10 each you can also add that saving!

It's true Quashquai66.  I priced a ferry from Hull to Zeebrugge and for my dates the ferry alone was going to be £528.14 but adding 7 Camping Cheques (worth over £100) brought the total price down to £428.92!!!!  The savings aren't as big on the shorter crossings but there are still some savings to be made.

Horrific prices on the hull ferry if your use to free crossings on Tesco clubcard via eurotunnel.Worth a mention as youre new to this.

Areas in France are so varied,my Fav is the Alps,my wifes Provence/med,kid 1 Massif central,kid 2 canoeing Ardeche kid 3 West coast surfing kid 4 Spain .so best advice read up as much as you can and make a descision based on youre family preferences.

Three locations in two weeks is again personal preference but would be fine for us.We never stay more than a week in one place and often less.

Brit favs are Brittanny,Loire Valley,Dordogne,Provence/med.If you want to converse in youre mother tongue and insure the kids have others to play with these are good areas.Conversely if you want to avoid fellow Brits these areas are worth avoiding.
