Trip to Wales

 ·  Posted: 19.01.2014  ·  #1

We travelled to France last June with Irish Ferries. Cost 600 euro. As part of the deal we get a free (low season) trip to wales via Dublin/Holyhead or Rosslare/Pembroke.

Just booked it for April. Would have cost 400 euro if not part of the France deal, so very happy. Might even splash out on a proper campsite with some of the money saved.

I know that lots of you favour Celtic but for some reason ? Irish Ferries are always cheaper for me. and this freebe makes the choice simple.

Worth looking at if you have to do high season to France and have some scope for low season UK trip.

Just booked it for April.

Snap. Booked ours the on Friday. Heading over for a few days before Easter. We had to pay a supplement to cover the kids as the free trip is just for two adults. Still though Wales for €100.

Check out the link that waterman has given but bear in mind that you would need to have your 2013 trip before the start of June as that is high season again.

The same vehicle must be used and at least one of the passengers must have done the France trip.

The offer is available this year again, and you can start your free trip from September 2014- end May 2015

There is a caravan club site very close to there, but I am not a big fan of Engalnd, prefer Wales and Scotland.

Yeah have stayed often on that site to allow her to have a few days retail therapy and give me peace. All I had to do was collect her laden down with parcel in the evening.

Item divided by the number of wears = value and ROI (return on investment).
Good boots €200 worn 195 time = €1 or a tiny bit over per wear.
Can't argue with that? How much does a pint cost and how long does that last or a bottle of wine.

LLyn Brenig in Wales... Caemaes Bay in Wales, LLydw Beach wales (10 a night but the beach is awesum)


Or check out wildcamping.co.uk join and get all the POI, I am a member and use the Tom Tom poi for my little jaunts.... Someone on there suggested I look at this site for my trip to Ireland later in the year...
