Thanks to all the helpful replies, we had a very pleasant drive down.

Bordeaux is now an easy place to pass as the ring road is great.

The major bottle neck is always Bayonne and the border. The Peage starts about 50 miles from border and we stayed on. Cost us 13 Euros and saved bloody hours.
Got us right over the border and only 1,35 Euros on Spain side.Then about 50 miles free

You could not be further from the truth! I suggest you look at that again. The total cost from Calais to Santander, using Toll routes is roughly €320 of which toll fares are about €150. Double that and your looking at around €650 return. Using Non toll routes in both directions would only cost around €250. I think the return ferry fare is around £600-800. A bit of a no brainier but it's down to personal preferences.

Nearer £600 with discount including outside cabin,,BUSBY.

Return fare quoted at £550 for 7m long and 3m high with cabin both ways, including the Voyager club discount. Not a great deal in it really. As you say it's down to personal preference and also how quickly you want to get to Spain. Although I have enjoyed the cruise to Spain on several occasions I would probably choose in future with the MH to drive through France and avoid all the tolls.

they quoted me nigh on £1000 return for a 5,1m mpv in 2013 !! & that was without cabin etc. It's a no brainer for me I always use the toll free route through SomPort.
