On a long cross channel ferry crossing. I paid £198 for an overnight on the Wednesday Portsmouth Cherbourg with use of a recliner in Club class on the way out and the fast craft for the journey back on the Monday evening, both with P & O.
Some will have shares in the ferry companies so dont include these prices unless you can offer them to the rest of us for next year.
-
Ahhh, should it be included as to how these wonderful deals were achieved?
(£280 Ports-Caen Weds night, rec seat, and back Mon first ferry)
-
Portsmouth-Caen, out on the Tuesday night with a 2-berth cabin, return on the Sunday night boat (no cabin or recliner), one car, 2 occupants, no share deals, total cost £263.
-
Newhaven-Dieppe, out thurs morning back monday morning with cabin £92. No special deal!! i'm sure they got it wrong, but wasn't going to tell them.

If you went on the Ferry which you must have done, you also need a medal for bravery! It has been aground several times in the last year or so!
Anyway I went out Newhaven Dieppe Seacat Wed 2pm, back Calais Dover Seacat Monday 5.30pm, cost £110

Corking offer from P&O via Dover-Calais:
The "Shado 1" 806 plus just me (could have been one other included in the same price), out Wednesday morning, back Monday evening - £60 all in!! Further passengers would have been just a tenner each.
So if I wasn't Billy-no-mates, could have been five of us for 90 notes - £16 each!! The other MB posse vehicle with our Mancunian departure crew did exactly this in the "Shado 2" Espace.
Incidentally, I get the impression that the "Shado" bit was lost on many, particularly the youngers amongst us - I thought everyone in the whole world knew about Gerry Anderson's "UFO" and had been having wet dreams about Gabrielle Drake in the splendid purple wig since birth - OK just me then .. oops, fear too much information!
;D
-
Rickmeister, your right far to much information...........
Still trying to work out the total cost per person, but i am guessing about £ 180-200 for five days inc food, booze, fuel, crossing (tunnel) tolls and race tickets. But then again maths was never my strong point, I might be missing a "0" somewere. ???

I have to say Rick, that Wanda Ventham (Colonel Lake) did it for me, especially bursting out the front of her uniform.

Pleees this is all geting too much. UFO indeed ???

£124 P&O out Wed Lunch time back Tues Morning
bit sick though we booked last december but if we had waited we could have done it for £60 :(
-
which route PP?
-
Dover Calais
Yes I know is a long drive but we have two drivers and took the journey there and back in two days hence the Tuesday return.
-
booking the ferry about a week ahead the best deal I found was on SeaFrance. £50 per car for a 5 day return, and they threw in E15 of shell fuel vouchers.
We were on the 0930 boat thursday morning, but I had to jiggle around the monday return times to get the deal, not a problem as we planned to get a late night sunday crossing anyway.
Very good value I thought
-
Look, this "serious" stuff is all very well, but can we get back to Wanda Ventham please? I do remember her, GOD I do remember her, damn miracle I can still see, what a bus? Where?
-
And another thing, whats this Dover/Calais is alright with 2 drivers? I did Le Mans-Calais-Dover-Devon on one hit (had to drop bro-in-law off in Brighton). Course in a Lancia these sort of runs are no trouble....
-
I'm off to bed, you coming Wanda? Oh, I see, couldn;'t you have waited?

Hey Peter, that wasn't your gorgeous yellow Integrale I kept seeing on the way down on Wednesday was it?
And as for Wanda, Stu and I have been swapping photos - wanna see some? ;)
Cheers
Rick
-
Thanks Rick but, er, no not an Integrale I'm afraid but a Thema Turbo (sorta Integrale for when you get old!) and re pics of Wanda NO! or at least not if they are recent. Please leave me some illusions, I'm going back about 30 years for christ's sake! LOL
Just struck me that my Thema is the Stanna Chairlift of the performance car world. Damn, thats the saddest thought this week.....

Oh, and re Gabrielle Drake with a purple wig, I dont remember the skirts as being QUITE that short (Sorry moderator, sorry), anyone for a merkin?

Thanks Rick, youve just made a happy man feel very old! Oh it's all come flooding back, I feel 18 again, catch you later, just off to do something outrageous. I cant help musing about a purple merkin though, you knwo how it is, once some thing gets between your teeth.....

Glad to have been of service Sir!
Plenty more of those (and Wanda in her prime too) at aforementioned website - you know it makes sense! Go on! ;D

Oh, all right then, I know I want to!
