Usually the first week in August,will get a proper date etc as soon as poss.
I know a handful of people who have been to this the last few years and everyone rates it very highly,but be warned there is no camping and it is over 5 days _________________

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 _________________

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 _________________

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. _________________

Tried Plymouth first as it's easier to get to for us. It worked out quite a bit more than Portsmouth
On the bright side, the Portsmouth ferry is top notch, like a liner _________________
