| Stuck with the Celtic Ferries crossing on the Thursday night again also Mike. Oscar Wilde on the way home again. I'm bloody dreading that Celtic ferry, I think I'll bring a few sleepers and hit the bunk early. Remember Clash of the Titans with the "Please Replace Bulb" across the screen for the whole film. Thank God for Jack Daniels!!
Roscoff is a 4 hours shorter ferry but it's about 3 hours behind roadwise from where you'd join, around Le Mans if I remember correctly. Roads are fine once you reach St. Brieuc after getting off at Roscoff. _________________ "82% of Corkonians believe they are the chosen ones while 18% believe they are the ones who'll do the choosing".  |

| The "Please Replace Bulb" took our minds off how shite the film was so it was a blessing in disguise. Gave us 90 minutes away from Einstein as well lol. We'll have a glass of the gay in honour of you on our return trip. _________________ "82% of Corkonians believe they are the chosen ones while 18% believe they are the ones who'll do the choosing".  |

| i`m heading back over this year with celtic link for the first time, it`s working out quite cheaper for me as their not charging me for bringing the dog. it costs me 45 notes to bring the dog on the irish ferries. also i think it`s 10 euro chearper for the boat and trailer. not sure if it`s true maybe someone that has been with across with them can confirm this but i believe that the food is included in the price. if true could work out a lot chearper than irish ferries as they know how to charge for a breakfast. peter and rory are coming out with me and they are heading back on irish ferries as the dates work out better. any one who has been left waiting around for a day in france or been a day late to get on a lake will find this a big advantage. _________________ www.etangdebrigueuil.com www.highmilllake.com

| The bar is quite small Colin but it's a means to an end really. It gets you there the day early so it's not a mad dash across France after arriving Saturday afternoon with Irish Ferries. Price wise, I can't remember to be honest if it's cheaper or more expensive. Mike, Ken or Pat Mac may be able to remember so I'll ask them.
The grub was fine on there, on a par with the restaurant on the 7th deck of the Irish Ferries next to the stairs. I can't remember if the food is covered or not as I remember a cash register in the place, pointless if they are not charging for the food. We'll be on it at the start of April so I'll report back with prices etc. then. _________________ "82% of Corkonians believe they are the chosen ones while 18% believe they are the ones who'll do the choosing".  |

| Going in May with Mick B on Celtic ferries for 186 euros and returning with Irish frerries for same price. Thats less than what we thought it would cost with a van. |
