I succumbed to the SpeedFerry offer

Further to yesterday's blog about special offers from SpeedFerries, I decided that it was too good to miss out on and so I've just got the 'flexible friend' out and bought a 10-trip super voucher for £240 - 10 single trips from Dover to Boulogne (or the vice versa return crossing) to be used any time within the next two years.

Although it's a long (6 hour) drive from Boulogne to our Brittany holiday Gite, it's motorway almost all the way and for us in fact it's about 2 hours quicker and considerably cheaper than taking alternative ferry routes to France with Brittany Ferries or LD Lines.

It's only really 5 return trips (and we've two years to take them) and at £24 each way (even for peak school holiday crossings) is I think great value.
