dont be put of taking the trailer over ie stena line belfast to stranrare was only £55 and the trailer we took was nearly as big as the car we took our horse box you will see it below

thanks Craig , Norfolkline want more extra for the car on tow than the towing car £105 extra quoted , so Stenna Stranraer looks the better option its just the 200miles extra driving but thats offset by the shorter 2 hour crossing compared to 8 hours on the Liverpool ferry which after about four hours gets very boring and I dont rate the free lunch on the Birkenhead ferry at all , they make you que up for an hour then as soon as you sit down to eat they make an anouncement that the restaraunt is closing in 5 minutes , they do this every time . probably going for a towing dolly as advised by Dave unless I can find a full size braked car trailer for a good price , the towing dollys seem to go for about £300 on ebay .
