Well, that's it, enough is enough, it's time to go.....
After getting home from work on Thursday, I went and picked up the van from the storage warehouse this morning. The guy who owns the warehouse had the van outside. he was just finishing rinsing it off. He said as it had got a bit dusty he thought he should give it a clean, he had even used a traffic film remover and got rid of all the bugs which I failed to remove before I stored it due to lack of time last leave...
So nice one George, I owe you a pint...
So with one less job to do, I will start to prepare the van, check the gas, top up batteries, flush the water tank etc etc......
Tuesday drive down to Dover, may try Marine Parade for the first time, as we have a crossing the following morning to Dunkirk....
After that, 3 weeks trying to avoid all those rude French people that others on this forum have told us about...oh:
The only planned part of the trip is 6 days at Benodet, our friends are working there on the Port de Palisance campsite, looking after static holiday vans for a small British company The site looks great for the boys, large indoor and outdoor pool complex, adventure trails and zip lines in the woods, should be fun.
Apart from that it's follow the bonnet of the van and see where it takes us...Just hope the sun will shine at least once or twice and the rain will stay away...
.....and we look forward to many encounters with those rude and arrogant locals....
Anyone else heading this way in the next 3 weeks? .....
