DFDS £60 crossings
Read something in the Club Magazine about £60 each way crossings being available to book, I presume for next year, between 17/10 and 31/10, this covered a car and large caravan, or a motorhome.
Does anyone know how you find these fares or how restricted crossing times and dates are ?

Having just returned home yesterday I felt the need to start looking at next year's trip in between washing and tidying up! I tried a crossing for May/June, but the cheapest was P&O at £122.85, whilst DFDS came out at £163.20. Haven't had a chance to look at the mag yet, but if that offer is advertised, then shouldn't it be on the website too? Under Special Offers for ferries there is nothing about that. Perhaps a call would clarify things?

No, I cannot find anything either, I will need to go and read the ad more carefully when I get back home.
We are hoping to go late August, returning mid October.
Also looked at Harwich to the Hook, day crossing, but it is not offering any crossings beyond the end of September, do they stop then?
Are your prices for a single trip?
I can get the Harwich one for about £160 return , but not on the dates we wanted.

KjellNN, I've just had a look at the advert. The headline is 20% off ferries to France on Dover-France routes and then it says prices are FROM £60 each way, max length of car 4.5m, max length of caravan 8m, max length MH 10m. Book by 31st October for selected departures from Jan-Dec 2018.
The "selected departures" are not stated, so I suspect that you'd need to ring up to find out which they are, other than that keep putting in different days/times, which may take some time!
AFAIK the ferries from Harwich-Hoek v Holland run all year, they always have done so it may be a case of CAMC not having prices beyond end of September 2108?

Yes, that is the advert.....from £60.
I had thought it would only be middle of the night crossings, but could not find anything at all.
We may fall outside the sizes anyway, our new car is a tiny bit over 4.5m.
For the Harwich crossing, I also looked at the Stena website, nothing beyond September there either.

If I put in a 4.5m car, DFDS will do a return for £174.40 sailing outward at 09.10 in September. Does not offer anything cheaper.
Will need to take the tapeline to the car!
Harwich is still looking better.
As you say, we would need to phone the Club to find out the dates and times available.
We could go earlier, say mid August, but would sites be in low season by then?

Well, perhaps they are cutting back on services then, or crossings after September fall into Stena's winter programme and are therefore not yet available?
Edited: posted at the same time! Some sites would still be in high season towards the end of August, but others wouldn't. Certainly in France, with ACSI for example, some sites accept it from the 3rd week again. Most municipals usually have their high season July/August, and low season starts again on 1st September.
