Good advise Kerry - dont know if you have seen mine but it is here on post 4 http://www.totallyproperty.com/egypt...dover-etc.html

I think Easy jet will allow you in total 50kg to travel - each kg excess is charged at £6 per kg. The maximum weight per bag must not exceed 32kg - if it does they will not accept it.
However they also do a sports baggage one for a fee of £16.50 per flight See easyJet.com - Carrier's Regulations

So it is worth shopping about for flights as it may be cheaper but the extra baggage fee more. Swings and roundabouts.
