Have any UK competitors looked into pricing it up yet ? Ive done a few quick searches for ferries. So many options is hard to decide where to start.

Heres a neat interactive map showing all ferry routes.

Direct Ferries - Ferry routes

RAC Route Planner is pretty good for doing the route.

So I thought maybe best to use ferry as much as possible to reduce amount of driving, Harwich to Hook of Holland seemed like a good one.

(598 miles to Poznan)

Stena Ferry
4 Adults
4x4 tow car and 6m trailer
Depart - Thu 25th 09:00
Return - Tue 30th 14:30
£262

Dover to Calais to compare (727 miles to Poznan)

P&O Ferry
4 Adults, 4x4 tow car and 6m trailer
Depart - Thu 25th 09:15
Return - Tue 30th 14:05
£174

So an £88 difference, I know Dover to Dunkerque is probably cheaper than to Calais, havent done that one yet.

The saving in petrol by not driving through France, Belgium and Germany may not quite make it worth it ?? anyone have any comments ? as it only looks like about 130 miles difference anyhow and even my Patrol doesnt use £88 worth of fuel in 130 miles (not quite anyhow...).
