Possibly £58.00 return car and caravan, Dover to Dunkerque with Norfolk Lines - that's what we paid for a crossing in May, and £71.00 for car and caravan, crossing in August.

Norfolk Lines had an offer using the code EBF - but this may now have expired.  Otherwise, if you want to use Norfolk Lines, then wait until the Caravan Show at the NEC in February, when they had a similar offer last year, and someone will post the code on here.

Did the fare to Santander include a cabin? The cheaper/shorter routes won't need to include this cost in the fares and there is quite a difference in the mileage you will have to drive if you are planning on Spain.

'Jukes' - have you actually decided on a site yet?  That will obviously dictate how far you'll have to travel.  However, I would have thought that even if you were right down by the Spanish border on the west coast, then a couple of overnight stops *(which can be had very cheaply at many municipal sites) will see you on your final site.  Obviously there's the cost of extra fuel - but some of this will be offset by not having to buy food on board for 36 hours! 

Camping Cheques - if you are interested (and they can save up to 40 euros) on some sites, then email me (valathomenow at tiscali.co.uk) and I'll send you the long blurb I have about them, together with a list of sites which accept them on some dates through the British school holidays.  Obviously you don't make huge savings on all sites, but a lot on some, a more moderate amount on others, and perhaps only a couple of euros on one or two. 

Hi

You say you stay on the isle of wight never been so not sure about size of it and stuff but have you thought if your not going to use the caravan on the island why not put it in storage on mainland may save you on ferry fares as i say dont know much about area so just a thought
