Hmm following a chin wag with my old mum this morning I looked up ferries to Spain direct - this came after we looked at the temperatures in Orleans and Poitiers (0c and -1c respectively) and decided that was not looking like a game of soldiers!
Turns out you can get cheap ferries directly to Spain now - Plymouth to Santander was, if you accept a 'chair' not a cabin for 36 hrs, £99.
Can't really beat that, it means cutting 4 days off the trip droning along autoroute, freezing to death and with nothing but a freezing bivvy to look forward to at the end of the day.
France is nice I'm sure, but I'll see it in the summer I reckon!!
So, trip now commences at Santander! Slight but significant change. Tum te tum!
