Well good news me and the wife have made our first trip to France arrived this morning after a long drive down to the tunnel from Edinburgh and at this moment in time sitting here in Luxembourg :) after reading lots of tips and opinions here on fun we decided just to wing it for the next 3 weeks heading for Italian lakes for a couple of nights and work our way back up through France and get a couple of Aries under our belts ;)

Here's to motorhomefun, Cheers :cheers:

Hot on your heels leaving from Glasgow next Thurs ...Been a looooong 2 yr waiting :)

Just give yourself plenty of spare time to get down to the tunnel! Google said 7.5 hours and that was driving through the night but with several diversion on the A1 due to roadworks it taken 9.5 hrs with 20 minutes to spare with the last check in ;)

Just wanted to share, that so far the trip has been a great eye opener and we're now in Switzerland (Luzern) which is a beautiful city, we also stopped at Obernai on the way down was also a beautiful town.

I'd like to put out a Big Thanks to Hydrocell a fellow funster who in another thread offerd a mini guide/route to Lake Garda which I jumped on and asked if I could have a copy too ;) Thankfully he did and it's given us some great stops which we may have never seen, me and the wife are very greatfull.

One of the best decisions I've done was to join motorhomefun a world of information and members happy to help :wink:
