Why is that? A lack of demand making it not worth the cost/s to run half empty ships or something?
I figured the ferries run on diesel .. ? I wish I had a diesel bike! :P
No, just a CG125 .. and some heavy shopping.
I really don't know anything about ferry prices tbh. Is £100 even a good price? Hehe. I hope so! It seems like it is anyway. My only previous experience was violently expelling some coffee the last time I checked how much an overnight to Spain costs. I think it was Portsmouth > Bilbao about five years ago and it was £350. But for some reason they didnt have any option for a chair and not a cabin. Think it was P&O actually ..
Anyway, its a looooong way to Plymouth from Derby. Might head down on the Friday and spend the Saturday seeing the sights.
Anyone based down there know of any good B&B they can recommend? Bike friendly etc?
I think there's some £29 a night Holiday Inns etc on the M5 too?

20 miles beyond the ferry at Liskeard there is a premier inn with a big £29 sign outside. I could also recommend my local pub. Real ale, good food and the owner/chef rides bikes. I could even be persuaded to pop down and join you for an ale or 2  .
