£500 return for 2 and a bike Newcastle to Amsterdam.

No option to not take a cabin, which takes up around £400 of that stupid price !

Everything is priced at what people are prepared to pay.

just paid 61 quid return for me and the bike --dover calais---reasonable--just enough time to have a breakfast and then get on the road?

Weirdly enough I went over on Saturday, Dover-Calais-Dover in the car, £29 and a case of wine thrown in.

It all seems a bit 'throw a six to start' to me

I was looking at the Newcastle ferry just the other night and £500 Is a far better price than I was getting up, the joys of living north.

Can empathise with this as P&O from Hull are extortionate

It's a toss up between

• 1 hour to travel 40 miles to Hull then £350 ferry to Rotterdam but good sleep overnight

• 4 hours to travel 200 miles to Harwich then £150 ferry to Rotterdam but good sleep overnight

• 5-6 hours to travel 250 miles plus the bloody Dartford Crossing to Dover then £70 ferry to Calais or Dunkirk so get off ferry knackered

High demand + low supply = fookin expensive

I've just found a Harwich to Holland crossing for one adult on a bike, including cabin for €135.
