Got an e mail today from the Camping and Caravanning Club and spotted their escorted tours. Looked at the itinerary for the French trip and thought that looks quite good, but then got a real shock at the price. Over £2,000 for 18 days at 4 normal campsites, not including ferries. A few meals and short excursions were included, but by my reckoning the C&CC are making well over a grand profit on each van that goes, and at the end of the tour you are still deep in the SW of the country so have to make your way back another 400 miles and stay another couple of nights in sites you have to find yourself. Seems like a good idea but at those prices they can bu**er off!
