Foreign Perspectives

Plan B (drive truck over next week full of furniture, then drive smaller truck over in a few weeks time) isn’t a runner: it’s getting on for £1000 for that option vs £200 for the plane + car option for next week. Seeing as it’s not much dearer to rent a slightly bigger truck and do the whole lot in one go, we’re planning on doing that.

However, there is the little problem of driving the truck back to NI after we’ve unloaded it in the south of France.

To get around this difficulty, I’d like to take along someone who could drive said truck (we’re not talking massive truck here: an ordinary driving license is more than enough) back after we’ve unloaded it. This would involve coming along with us on the ferry (probably Rosslare to Cherbourg, but possibly the Stranraer-Dover-Calais route), sharing driving down to the south of France, staying 2/3 days there and then driving back with an empty truck. In total, this would take around 8/9 days. This trip would probably take place in about 2 or 3 weeks time. To sweeten the pot, we’re throwing in a FREE weeks accommodation at Mas Camps at a time of your choosing (subject to availability, though, unlike most offers, we’ll get you fitted in if you give us enough notice).
