Not mastered the art of bunging a hyperlink in yet but I have used this site a lot.

Then I have just seen it's put it in anyway.

Go on the ferry then? Much cheaper and a better view

Edit: What JT said

[andyj]

MyFerrylink are quoting £85 return

[jt]

Muck about with the times and you may get it cheaper.
If not that's not bad between 6.

Come on Stones. Lets have a 2nd coach and 3rd if required. I know there are bound to be some logistical probs Nadine but some top boys are missing and don't want to be. Any chance please??

[shottieman]

Thanks for the advice guys I am looking at ferry but might be we have to come back next day. Eurotunnel said its one of busiest days of the year and not a good day to visit Calais!! Will get there somehow!

When I booked the return crossing was around £45 on the Sunday (2 people, 1 car).

In total without the lounge access & priority boarding/exit I think it was £100 for the full trip with P&O, admittedly the extras and getting a flexi ticket on the Friday bumped the price well up for me.

If there isnt another coach the only way we seem to be able to go is as foot passengers from Dover to Calais. If anyone is going by car and has any spare spaces perhaps they can put it on here as there seems to be many people who wish to go and cant get there. There are 3 of us so I don't expect anyone to be able to take us but it may help others.
The other thing is if as previously said if Eurotunnel is all booked and boats are also booked another coach or minibus would be no good anyway. Anyone else thought about going as foot passengers then getting taxi to the ground?

[Deleted]

Yes Jan, but you'd have to stay over as foot passengers aren't allowed after 9pm

[jan]

Thanks Antstone how did you know this as when we went on their site to check boats for foot passengers it never said anything about this. I have now emailed them.Its seems that everything is against us going. NOT HAPPY.

If you go to book foot passengers on after the 21:00 crossings it advises it has put you on the next permitted ferry - which is after 7am the next day - has been discussed briefly on this forum before.
I'm on the coach but have to admit would have preferred a "long day" and would've gone as a foot passenger had it been possible.

Let me know how they reply, would be interested to see their reasons (shuttling passengers from terminal to boat I suspect). It maybe they let people on as foot passengers but don't book it online - this would frustrate me but at least it would mean more can make the trip

[jan]

Thanks again will let you know what they say

[headstone]

MyFerry are charging £60 return for a car, both for a day trip, or if you want to return on the Sunday, on the basis of an 11.30 outward sailing (lunch at La Griotte in Ardres, then shopping in Calais in the afternoon looking for green socks - you have let me down M&S!). The tricky bit is that the last Saturday departure is at 21.30 - it's all getting a trifle complicated

Evening all. just to let anyone who still plans to go that we have just booked car+5 for £60 sailing 12.55 and returning on 23.55 . so ferries still available. alt you could sail out same time(£50) and return following day on 12.35 sailing(£39) and the Formule1 hotel in Calais is £39-£44 for a room sleeping 2/3.

[jan]

Antstone have just had and email from P&O their last foot passenger sailing is 21.45 and a few places still available next one as you said next morning. No reason given why no more.
