Tour to the French Alps 2008OK Folks.
Brittany Ferries have released next years Ferry Details. It's time I started putting this together.
I am looking to do an overnight crossing from Portsmouth to St Malo. The ferry leaves Portsmouth at 2030 hrs arriving St Malo 0815 local time. This will give as an opportunity for a good nights sleep before the first days serious riding and I would suggest a Cabin would be in order. St Malo also gets us that little bit further down towards the area we are heading for.
Return would probably be the Caen to Portsmouth route which is a shorter crossing and as most will live within easy travelling of Portsmouth a cabin would not be necessary ( which helps keep the cost down).
I did a quick quote on a bike with two passengers, including cabin on the outward leg and recliners on return leg, which came to £235 return. Solo Rider £190 return.
The cheapest out bound sailings are any day except Friday. Return sailings are varied but provided we avoid the Saturday & Sunday Midday and Tea Time sailings, they are reasonable. All the night time sailings are cheap, they arrive at Portsmouth at 0700.
Now in order to start getting Hotel quotes, I need to know when we are going. Ideally the last two weeks in June would be good.
What I need to know is; If you are interested (I stress interested) in going, what dates would be suitable to you.
Please let me know ASAP as I would like to do some serious work on this next week and have something to put forward to you by next weekend.
