Just done the invasion plan for France and Spain 2008.....
Dover/Calais ferry for £90 return, Travelodge room on outbound and inbound for £50 the pair, plus £200 for fuel for the 'Meega to/from there from Scotland, but not including continental fuel.
Saved circa £200 rather than travel from Hull, but a whopping £550 from Rosyth. Timewise, I think we lose roughly 12 hours travelling but, otherwise, end up on top.
Worth looking for the Travelodge £9 per room deals here (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/index.php?gclid=CNKJy8q-05ACFQVFMAodi2_wPw) in case theres something that suits your plans in summertime 2008.......

having the vacation with the self car is my preference too..
I hate rushing after fix times in the vacation..I must be able to stop and eat,sleep where I want ..
By the way if somebody want to come in here (too far for your miggy :-[ ) I'll do a serious search on hotels and prices in spring and I'll list the options here..

Me and her have done the self tour/camp thing in Europe for the past handfull of years. Its a hoot and much more fun, to us, than a package tour to somewhere.... yes, more costly but more fun chasing the sunshine and leaving the annoying neighbours and kids behind....
[/victor meldrew mode.... ;D ]
ps - sounds good Cem. No doubt someone will take you up on your very kind offer.... :y

Cunning plan at the moment is to head again to the south of France but to also head onwards into Spain to visit Barcelona for a time as well... Apart from that, anything is possible!!

Given the frequency that you drive across Europe etc, do you feel it may be worth investing in an LPG conversion? I Hear it's very cheap on the continent.

Never use a Travelodge as they over book their rooms and at busy periods you end up with no room if arrive late.
They claim other hotels do the same - not sure they do.

Get in there quickish, if thats your bag, peeps.... ;)
