Hi all,

Sea France currently have a special offer on, just booked return ferry Dover -Calais in June, for car, two passengers and my 8.3 m Elddis Super Sirocco for £170.

Hi JonyBoy - and welcome to UKCS.

Unfortunately you missed out on the real ferry bargains.  There was a really good offer with Norfolk Lines back in October when a return crossing was £58.00 return for car and caravan, plus £12 per extra metre over and above 12 metres total length.   They were available on any sailing on day day - but the offer didn't last long.  Lots of us were able to book though, including us - we actually booked two return crossings.   This price is as cheap as it's been for about ten years.  Now you've joined UKCS you can look out for these bargain offers, which appear on here as soon as they are published elsewhere.

At the NEC this week it's likely that more 'Caravan Show Offers' may appear - and people will be waiting for any promotional codes to be published. 

Thanks for your reply and welcome Val A. Unfortunately we weren't planning a Continental trip back in November and that was certainly a bargain with Norfolk lines! After getting back into caravanning after a twenty year absence last year, we upsized in January to the Elddis and are heading for Tuscany in June.

I must admit I have picked up some very good tips on this Forum and the camp site reviews have been helpful as well, so a big thanks to all those who take the time to submit to UKCS from this very happy member 

Hi again - I presume you've also picked up information on Camping Cheques, ACSI card, Touring Cheques, and http://www.vacansoleil.co.uk- all offering discounts on campsite prices during the low season (which includes June)?  

Nice to hear you've come back to caravanning after twenty years, too!

Yes, waiting for my ACSI card to arrive and chewing over whether to buy a Camping cheques gold card, didn't know about the vacansoliel site so will have a peak, thanks  again for the info.

Up until last year we had a German Shepherd that couldn't travel, otherwise I might have talked the 'boss' round a long time ago. Anyway, dog sadly passed on now and OH loving touring as much as I told her she would!

Hi Vicki

Just checked that and possibly a good deal for just a car and passengers, but the exact same time/date/boat I'm booked on with the caravan works out £19 dearer than with booking with Sea France direct on line.

Thanks Vicki

Just priced up a trip for March with a campervan, also came out at £40!

Has anyone used Ferry Cheap before? Are they OK/legit??

Hi Val.

         Me, you and a few others, the comment "The Early Bird Gets The Worm" comes to mind!.
