just need some help going to france at end of june never done it b4 any advice on cheapest ferries best times and recomended sites in normandy any advice would be appreciated

If you're going at the end of June, like Billy I'd agree that Norfolk Lines are likely to be amongst the cheapest - but you may get a good deal from Speedferries if you're not towing a trailer or caravan.

It's also worth taking a look at the Camping Cheque website www.campingcheque.co.uk, Touring Cheques www.touringcheque.co.uk, or ACSI card, www.campingcard.co.uk - all of which offer low season discounts, which on some sites in Normandy can be right up until 20th July at Camping La Route Blance in Normandy, which is on the Cherbourg peninsula, near Mont St Michel, and overlooking the Channel Islands.  A pitch at any of the sites covered by Camping Cheques and Touring Cheques would cost only £10.30 per night including electricity, two people, tent, car, awning, and a dog if you have one.  ACSI sites cost 10, 12, or 14 euros depending on the 'band' the site is in.

Hi

We went last year as our first ever trip with the caravan and it was no problem at all.

Dont discount LD Lines from Portsmouth as your comimg from shropshire its nearer than Dover and obviously gets you straight into Normandy at Le Havre. A good site near Bayeux is at Martrigny and also near Mont st Michel is at Courtlis. Click on my reviews.

Biggest tip without a doubt is take a sat nav and dont stress about it,  its easier than you think.

Have fun
