LMS Silverstone

(assuming you're catching the ferry from Harwich)

Sorry Steve, but I'm going south. Last time I went with Stena I swore myself never to go with them again. It's a lot cheaper, faster and less hassle to drive all the way down to Calais and catch the train.
I am simply not prepared to pay €430,- for an eight hour journey each way, and be obligated to take a cabin when sailing overnight (yes, those costs are extra of course).

Last year I asked for a return sailing to go to Donington LMS by camper van, and they dared to ask €760,- for a weekend return!!

Ufck 'm!

I have to drive back to Holland that night  

I only said "social" - sitting down for a nice chat and a cup of tea won't do any harm!!

Prices like that, you wonder if your buying part of the ship!

[Paddy_NL]

They made it worse, and it makes me laugh. Idiots


price is based on one small camper van, 5 persons (1 child), three berths on return trip (obligated)

...and then to think I paid €154 for a return by le Shuttle

[JDS]

Holy f*£$ !!! Obviously they must sell tickets at those prices, but that's insanity!

[Lorry]

Its a well known rip off.

Paddy, don't forget Sea France and Norfolk line from Dunkerque.  They'll be a deal there somewhere

[Paddy_NL]

Thanks Lorry, I still prefer the train though. Smooth crossing...


28 minutes flat...

So I guess we are taking the campervan down for sure now?

I could handle part of the driving, so no need for you to keep off the booze on sunday, just don't overdo it.

[Paddy_NL]

My camper van will be a last minute desicion. If I can sell it the Thursday prior to departure, it's gone.

Doesn't look like it will be sould though

[Piglet]

Do you guys need camping gear if the van sells or even if it doesn't?

[Paddy_NL]

Thanks for the offer Anita, but if the camper van is sold we can come over with the missus' car which can carry a top box. You might have seen the box this year at Brands Hatch, LT borrowed it for that trip.
So we should have plenty of space to get all our gear over...

[knetter]

Gear should be fine, bit more difficult to get 5 adults and 1 kid in a VW golf

I thought that might be where the top box comes in

That's why HuubC is on 'stand by'
