Hi, Any one done the Ferry, Poole to Cherbourg, had any complications? we intend to overnight in Poole, get the Ferry in the morning, usually go Dover/Calais, but after many years we are just so fed up with the M25,M1.M6, we drive down from Chester, so these routes are unavoidable and it is supposed to be a 6 hour journey, took us 8 hours in June, so frustrating, it seems that the whole motoring population have come out just to annoy us. We intend to travel on the 20th Aug.

We always do this crossing.
We stay just down the road at South Lytchett Manor, lovely site, on check in collect the voucher for a free bottle of wine when you dine at the local pub. We have always had a nice meal there and starts the holiday off.
We are club voyage members so always book a cabin. Get on board, have breakfast, have a sleep, have a shower in the cabin and we are good to go, we just find it nice to have peace and quiet on the sailing.
When we went 3 weeks ago we were delayed a few hours as the sea was so rough but think this is a rarity.
If you don't have membership try a price with someone's discount code on here if you haven't already booked.
All nice and straight forward the other end.
On return there's a small cafe inside the building it's not up to much but if you need a drink etc it's fine.

Thanks Claire, no I haven't booked yet, anyone have a discount code?
hi artc,
if you need a discount code just drop us your e-mail to paul.bwfc at ntlworld.com i will e-mail my code straight back to you, not too far from you in bolton, lancs, understand your problems getting to dover from up here in the north. we tend to go via the m40 slightly longer to dover, but the m1 does my head in, always seem to get delayed or diverted on it, cheers, paul

Hi Paul, sent you my email address, thanks for the code. Yes it's a right pain in the backside getting down to Dover, the foreign lorries on the roads must have quadrupled in the last five years, if only 10% of immigrants have purchased vehicles since they came here, there must be at least 50,000 more on the roads, I shudder to think what the roads will be like in 20 years, our motorways will be gridlocked and I agree the M1 is a disgrace, I come off the M6 onto the M5 then across to the M40, most times the M25 is not too bad going past Heathrow, I try to miss the peak times, but I think in future I will sail from Poole, no M1 or M25 ever again.
