Mon 18/6 Calais-Folkestone between 8am and 2pm is £57
Total for Sunday return: £88
Total for Monday return: £101

I really like the idea of this. Drive on, drive off and its only 35 mins to cross the Chunnel. Well worth an extra 30 quid over the ferry in my book.

Additionally the Eurotunnel departs at least every half hour. Less waiting around!

What do you think?
Well up for the EuroTunnel idea.

Yup count us in for the Eurotunnel also - seems like the best option given it allows us more time when over there

I reckon we should agree a time for the crossings and book them ourselves. Did you see those times on a specific website H??

How about 05.50 for the outbound journey and 13.50 for the homebound crossing on the Monday?? £103 through ferryoffers.co.uk

Although travelling at 16.20 on the way back still comes out at the same price.

I think this sounds good. Although if you book using Eurotunnels website it'll come out at £101.

Given that about 3/4 of people have agreed to going through the tunnel I'd say that is decided. I will put a separate reply below with these times and a prompt for people to book direct.

If we come back on the 13.50 we have to be there to check in at 13.20. Shouldn't be a problem and we get back to Blighty earlier than when we leave France!!
