Spood Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Not taking the Jeep but just booked hol in Sept for this year, booking through a firm that does cottages (3rd time) prices are based on Dover - Calais so we pay a bit extra to go Portsmouth - Caen, it's usually about £60. This year it's £164 :schocked: where the hell did that come from all of a sudden, that's a rise of umpteen %, (can't find calculator), saying that it's over £300 for the ferry alone if you book separately so I suppose it's still a bargain of sorts, and we just have to go as we love it so much. Stop press, just saved £30 by having our own insurance. Now it just seems a long time until September :-(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JeepJockey Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah.... We're taking a couple of Jeeps and a Jimmy over to Normandy and using the "TRUCKS & TROOPS" event at Beaulieu 26th, 27th and 28th May 2007 as a jumping off point. I've heard they have over one hundred vehicles booked in to date and are planning themed dances for the Saturday and Sunday evening entertainment. A 1940's Jump 'n' Jive and "Goodnight Vietnam", I'll have to remember to pack my Kaftan and bong! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
