You've changed Robin. I remember the days when we would rather commute in from Germany than stay in Belgium <bg>

I am not saying that I couldn't do that ... but I would rather not these days ;-)

Anyway, at least I have an Elise and am taking it to Spa ... unlike some I could mention :-)

It depends on how you book and how many days you plan on staying. It can be as little as about £35 each way, but goes up to about 2x-3x that if you're staying longer. At some cross over point its worth making two same-day return bookings and discarding the return portion of each journey. Eurotunnel say that you're not allowed to do that, but they don't stop you and of course you could always use two different credit cards to make the bookings if you wanted to make it harder for them to spot.

Cheers,
Robin

Usually about £100 return unless you can get 2 one day returns which was about half that. Time you factor in fuel it's not much different to the ferry.
