How about the following:

Route Portsmouth to Bilbao Bilbao to Portsmouth
Departure Sun 23 Jun 2013 22:30 Tue 2 Jul 2013 10:30
Arrival Tue 25 Jun 2013 07:45 Wed 3 Jul 2013 09:15

£1338 = £223 each but again, does not include any cabins. The only other thing is that it means having to book an extra 2 days off work.

Edit: with cabins, it comes to £1758 = £293 each

Hey Sparky!!

[Mads]

thanks Imperial. Can you check the above dates for us please?

one way that it can be a little cheaper is not to have cabins – that would knock off just over £400 from the total. However, a 24hr crossing without a bed to sleep on will certainly not be good for our backs.

new price with 6 people (was counting Tony’s friend from Malta for some reason)….

£2028 = £338 per person

Still not cheap.

update: the company isn’t open on weekends. However, it seems only Brittany Ferries do that crossing so went to their website to get a quote for 7 motorcycles….

£2356 = £356 per person

good to see you all last night. just done a quick search re: ferries and get the following:

Route Depart Arrive/Duration
Portsmouth to Santander
  2 of 4 berth outside cabin Fri 21 Jun 13 17:00 17:30 23hr 30min
Santander to Portsmouth
  2 of 4 berth outside cabin Sat 29 Jun 13 20:30 19:45 24hr 15min

£1,328.00 for 7 people. I don’t think that is any cheaper than what Champs found though? The only problem I’ve found is that I could not select motorcycle for 7 people as it says that is one motorcycle for all 7. If I do a search for one person then it is £558 per person. I think it might be better to ring up and speak to someone to see the best deal. I will try and do that later today.

Hi Mads and welcome along.  What kit are you building?

Thanks imperial. I’m building a MK Indy R with a R1 engine in it. It is based around the lotus 7 / caterham style.

[Mads]

Thanks all.

Radar – I’m looking forward to seeing the gixxer too, not ridden in two years since came back from Europe with Champs. The kit car isn’t progressing that quick either – lack of money, time or problems with the kit supplied have all led to a very long build process. Hopefully make some progress next year.
