I have the car and a tent ... I haven't got any plans for a holiday this year as I used to go to Cornwall every summer with the ex fiancee but I would really be up for this depending on the price it is for the ferry etc etc.

If you can pass on some details to me as to rough cost, dates etc then id really appreciate it and with any luck could get booked up for this in the summer?

you can pm me or/and if you have msn I can chat on there too.

Cheers ... CJ aka Chris

***UPDATE***

My father (ex-builder) has built shower and toilet facilities for those who are camping.

One room still available for B&B if anyone is interested (prices mentioned previously in thread).

Crossings depend on if you are going to le mans classic as to when you go. Have not arranged group crossings yet as have been up to neck in HGF :(

Aprox price is about £250 for return crossing with Brittany ferries.

Still plenty of room for camping :wink:

Any questions give me a shout!

Cheers

Thanks Chris

Was good to catch up at the weekend and really looking forward to France now :-D

Will be even better when I fix the car. Luckily I have two very experienced Elan mechanics on hand for advice and motivation :D

Fingers crossed the weather will be good too.

Still room for more campers :!:

Cheers
