Newhaven - Dieppe

[yeoblade]

We have been using Newhaven / Dieppe for quite a few years now as it is cost effective saving about 2 hrs drive each way compared to Calais and the 20% old fart discount is excellent.
During summer you can park overnight in Newhaven, just past the Hope Inn on the old harbour quay and it also has grass parking. This costs £3 and is excellent with sea / ferry views.
The barrier is open and manned from 0800hrs to 1700 hrs. Any other time you can't get in with a M/H.
We stayed here for 4 nights last week!:banana:
There are no facilities, so go in with full water and empty cassette!

Also Dieppe has two aires at €12

I saw them all parked up there and would have stopped myself but was too late to get in, looked a nice place.

Just booked another crossing with them on this route, on line it does not add a cost for the :dog: ! but when you phone through to book and get the 20% discount they do add the pet :dog: charge. which is about the same as the discount around £20.
Also when I said my van was 7.6m long she said we will book you in the <7m class, that will be OK.:dog::dog:

I have used this route twice as Newhaven is near home, and found it a good crossing. I have stayed in the Dieppe aire once but it is quite pricy for one.
I discovered a free aire just 20 mins south outside Dieppe very useful for a morning ferry. St. Nicolas d'Aliermont n49,88045 e1,22092. It says two spaces but it is a large carpark behind a small town. Pay for water, Toilet drop free, great for clearing out prior to travel.

When I went last month, to Le Mans for a bike race meet I had 25 litre jerry can and a gallon can that I'd just filled, glad I wasn't searched, gas fridge was left on too!
I didn't know of the fuel can ban.
Taking the dog instead of the bike this time to Massif Central region for a walking holiday and NO cans.
