For further info myself, Alex and Paul Knight will go a different and gentler slower route. We’re coming and going via the Portsmouth/Caen Brittany ferry: OUT 15/9 23:00 arr 16/9 07:30, BACK 23/9 23:30 arr 24/9 06:15. It’s a long enough crossing to get a cabin (and so avoid another hotel).

That gives us 3 full days/2 nights each way…[Read more]

Bear in mind that the official hotel price includes the evening meals, which you’ll need to telll the hotel you want and pay for. There may still be rooms left under the club deal if you wish to reconsider.
