I am not having a go but everyone says that. As Nike says, just do it!
You can get cheap Ferry tickets of you look hard enough and if you plan in advance you can stay at Talbot House (TocH) for something like 30 quid a night. If that is full there are an amazing number of B&Bs about the place. The people are friendly and the food is reasonable (McFood is available). Ypres is about 45 mins drive from Calais if you manage to ignore the countless memorials and cemeteries along the way.

You can almost do it in a day and take in the Menin Gate if you get a wiggle on. In fact the biggest pain on the whole trip is the M20/M25!

Go! You wont regret it.
