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 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....

ps - sounds good Cem.  No doubt someone will take you up on your very kind offer....

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....
