if it is the bank holiday weekend i've got a wedding, i'm an usher so it would be rude to throw a sicky.............

also no camping sort of takes the edge off for me and puts the cost up Crying or Very sad

If it's the beginning of August it isn't a Bank Holiday (that's the Isle of Wight).
Just checked the ferry prices from Portsmouth - Santander, comes out at £234 for 2 on a scooter, 1st weekend in August. It is high season though, so top prices Rolling Eyes

I did the plymouth santander ferry last year it is a 20 hour crossing. great once you get settled in the bar tho. Spain is pretty cheap as well once you get there. we were getting hotel rooms for 40 euro a night with breakfast and that was for two people not each.

The days of travellin` abroad for next to nothin` is over,it`s not like crossin` 24miles of English Channel,think about how much it would cost on a scheduled flight,try plymouth route maybe cheaper,aint got time to look at the moment. Crying or Very sad

Tried Plymouth first as it's easier to get to for us. It worked out quite a bit more than Portsmouth Crying or Very sad

On the bright side, the Portsmouth ferry is top notch, like a liner Very Happy
