Default You Southampton Chimps!!

Im gonna be travelling down to Southampton over the weekend in a transit and trailer on the back etc..... I need to find the Red Funnel / IOW crossing. From previous experience I remember the Wightlink crossing was a bitch to find. How easy is it to find he Red Funnel one?? Ill have a trailer so dont fancy trying to turn around gettin lost!!

Cheers
Chris

i prefer wight link from portsmouth its easy to find and they do pukka bacon rolls.. more crossings and shorter time too .. i used to use red funnel all the time till they decided to play silly buggers...
booked on a ferry.. they then said sorry mate this ones full have to wait an hour for the next one

yeah i prefer wightlink but ive got someone picking my van up to take it to the IOW. Apparantly Wightlink wont let you push cars on but Red Funnel do!!

Are both docks near each other??
