Yea it was probably 60/40 excitement and nerves at driving in France for the first time - at Dieppe you are thrown straight in at the deep end, fast lanes, roundabouts but maybe the best way to get into it. Well worth it, was amazing.

Really enjoyed the video.

Had a great time thanks, we were surprised at how big the ferry was and The facilities on board, beats flying in my book.

actually it's pretty small

If you live on the South Coast, the Newhaven-Dieppe route to the Alps is about 12 hours but includes a 4-5hr break from driving so you can do it easily in one go with about 7 hours on the road in France. If you go via Dover, overall its quicker but you are sitting in your car for the full 10 hours, with a bit of traffic, some breaks and driving time in the UK you are then getting into an epic all nighter or a halfway overnight somewhere. The only real downside is the departure times are set so you can't just rock up ahead of time and get an early crossing.

Dieppe is a lovely town to explore, much nicer than Calais.

Nice informative video. Top tip for the future. Don't mount the camera pointing up. I found it hard not to stare at the sky.

Thanks Terry glad you found it useful, apart from the sky bit. Need to get a go pro and an external mount - it’s on the list.

This is amazing but I always that you need 2 paspoort controle the uk and the grace border

Not done Newhaven before but the ferry looked big. We have done Dover, Portsmouth and Poole. Must check it out. Thanks guys!

Thanks Jon, so jealous, especially with the weather we have had over the bank holiday weekend. Have a great time and look forward to seeing where you went; we’re already looking for next year.

Newhaven ferries are vast compared to the little ones in the 60's and early 70's, the Falaise was a tiny ferry and rolled horrendously. A young Spanish lorry driver with a cargo of Seville oranges actually died of seasickness [must have been an underlying condition , poor lad] during a severe gale ..ferry was on her beam ends and the QM told the tale on a ferry forum.

Wow that must have been a terrible crossing. Glad to see that they have upgraded the ferries, a great way to travel across the channel in our experience.

Great video, just like being there lol

Hi Shawon, thanks for the comment. Booked the ticket about 9 months in advance of the trip. Ideally a year before is good simply based on that’s when they are cheaper. But shopping around can also help if you want to travel on a shorter timescale. Hope this helps. Thanks - Caravannery

Looks like you still have the protective film on the lens of your dashcam.. can't believe you have plastic on the windscreen.

Why did you use the Newhaven route Taff.😊

We were limited on options because we left it late to book ;-) But it was a great port and route and we would definitely use it again!

All a bit shambolic!
