https://www.redfunnel.co.uk/public/bookings/viewFerry cost this year is £42.00 return. (We should be able to find a discount code before we leave)
We will do the Isle of Wight run going from Southampton to East Cowes via Red Funnel ferries
We can catch the 09;00am ferry to get in East Cowes by 10;00 to meet Woody, Trudy and Jason.
The plan to meet at 08;15 at Rownhams services West Bound (East or West bound as we can cross the motorway via the subway) as last year then ride into Southampton centre to catch the ferry.
This is between Junctions 3 and 4 of the M27 you will need to meet Westbound side near the fuel station.
Weather permitting.
