B.F.Special for collecting children?

[Gastines]

Anyone know about a special fare that B.F. are supposed to do for the collection of children/grandchildren from UK? Chap I spoke to today mentioned something about some deal for Grandparents to go to UK for up to 48hrs and same on return. I quite often get the wrong end of the stick and may have done so yet again.

B.F offer a cheap crossing for which you may not be on land for more than ( I beleive ) 29 hrs, I use this a lot to go to my house in the Vendee, I get the 20:30 friday from p/mth arrive St Malo 07:00ish, I am at the house apprx 11:30 and then I have got untill 10:30 sunday morning to get to St Malo, not much time in France but enough to do some small jobs like fitting carpets , fixing roof leaks , tiling cooker surrounds, what else has she got me to do ...........................................

The cost of this last time on my own without a cabin was £ 54:00 return with a cabin was apprx £74:00 , I think that is execellent value , unfortuanatley I beleive that this offer stops May untill Sept for obvious reasons .

Look on their Web on special offers or phone them

We did a similar trip last year (J bought some kitchen units in the MFI sale and they weren't flat-pack, so 2 trips necessary) and it worked OK. Out after work on Friday, out to dinner Saturday, back home Sunday. It was about the cost you mention.

Unfortunately, Keith, the 24hr return offered by BF, that you refer to, is only available for trips starting in the uk so little use for those of us who live in France.
