I've a funny feeling that it might be cheaper to book it on as a camper but other people will be more clued in on that one. Looking forward to seeing you all for the event. Cheers Jonny

I'll just keep firing different details and timings into the ferry price quotation sites to get an idea of costs.On some ferries there's a big difference in price between vans,as a commercial vehicle,and campers,as a leisure vehicle. Hopefully I'll get there.... Tony
