Ferry to the continent

Postby Muad_dib77 » Wed Sep 05, 2007 11:11 am

I'm having a real hard time getting quotes for getting a ferry to the continent.

Does anybody know any sites that might work? I've tried the Aferry.*** sites but they don't have many routes on them.

Essentially I'm look to go to Denmark with my P&J - it would also be acceptable to land anywhere down the coast of France (sure what's a 12hour drive in an FTO? -fun fun FUN!)Germany, Holland and such would be acceptable as well..

I'm trying to avoid having to co-ordinate a drive across the UK as the time it would take is a complete unknown to me and heavily dependant on the volume of traffic.

Dunno as far as I'm aware they're still there.. I'm just not a fan of having too many variables in my planning.

Friend of mine is Danish and he tends to go across England to get the ferry from Harwich.

He's not around today but from memory, there's not much of a difference in time.

If you do go across England, pay the extra and use the toll road around Birmingham.

Neat - I'd be interested in hearing what his experiences are - I'm not too hot on the 2 ferry thing but if he's doing it on a regular basis I wont discount it just yet.

Yeah that's the best one I've found this far. 99 pops each way isn't half bad either..

We frequently travel to races in Europe in a bus and drive across the UK - it's a lot quicker and no hassle at all really
