As noted elsewhere in this blog I enjoy going to the Isle of Wight and have been there numerous times in recent years sailing from Southampton to Cowes down the Solent on one of the three Red Funnel ferries.
The prices however seem to have been steadily going up over the last three years and as a result of this we have decided to do something different and go to Northern France.
We have therefore booked a week in Picardy in August sailing from Dover to Calais and then driving to our camp site which is located not far from the channel coast about an hours drive from the port.
I have not been on a cross channel ferry before, apart from flying over the channel the last time I crossed was through the tunnel and before that about 20 years ago I went across on the hovercraft.
Quite looking forward to it - Hope the sea is calm!
