OK, looking like our first trip abroad has to be a little later than originally planned, now looks like 29th June-16th July.
Possibly looking to book a midnight-2am tunnel and travel down (240 miles) Thursday evening, then park up in France for a few hours before setting off into France Friday morning.
Not quite sure where we are heading for but don`t want to try and too thousands of miles so will eventually want to set-up for 5-7 days on a nice site. Vendee looks like the preferred area to head for to get to the coast and hopefully some good weather.
So the questions........
Is it worth bothering with a ACSI card as we will be travelling in July?
Is there somewhere near and and easy to find to park up when you exit the tunnel?
I have 2 x 13Kg Propane bottles normally, I thought I had read that you could only take smaller bottles on the tunnel. Can`t see any mention of this here... http://www.eurotunnel.com/uk/site-information/lpg/. This suggests with `several mobile containers` you can take up to 50Kg`s.
Have I got this right?
Is there anything unusual about obtaining diesel from French petrol stations?
I am sure there will be more.
Thanks in advance.
