Trying to get in early and sort the crossings out for myself, Flasher, Obi and a few others to Le Mans and guess what prices have yet again gone up!

With a bit of flexibilty we managed to drop the cost of the P&O crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre from a quoted £480 down to £260, by booking the 07.30 out on the Friday and returning 08.30 monday morning!!

If anybody fancies joining out 4 car convoy then feel free!

Just booked Dover - Calais with P&O this morning for £134 but I think this offer runs out shortly. Out Thursday morning, back Monday lunchtime.

Camping in Houx, just got to purchase a new toy to get there in... BTW additional Parking Tickets, do i need to go through the ACO for them ?
