Driving in France

Grumpy_old_trucker:
Is there any reason why you can’t use the Portsmouth - Santander ferry?

Far too expensive.I can do a round trip through France for less than half the cost of that ferry.
Plus I enjoy a bit of proper driving rather than the congestion nightmare that is modern Britain.
I can drive off a ferry in Dieppe and tell you within 30 mins.my arrival time near Alicante.I couldn’t be that accurate for the 20 mile trip from here to Leeds.
