well here we are back home, just a few observations, and a few things I was wrong on
We have done 2600 miles in a month and two days, honestly not seen a solitary migrant, and only seen about 6 gendarme in the whole time, and contrary to popular belief there isn't one behind every tree.
We have paid at st Valery , honfleur, two days at twin lakes, where we experienced our first funsters meet and good it was too, two days at colloure, coucy Le chatuex and gravelines, oh and Julie has just told me nuncq hautecote where we went first night , brilliant one this. All the rest free, mostly different one every night.
We have a gasit 6 kilo bottle that showed empty after about ten days but from previous experience knew it wasn't empty but filled it when we saw gas on a motorway service and it held 8 litre so after this it showed empty again after another ten days but left it and it lasted till we came back.
Two 85 amp batteries and two 100 watt solar panels provided far more electric than we could use, never on hookup anywhere even where it was provided.
Huwii dongle and 3 12 gb data sim provided all the internet we could use but ran out on the last day, but a fantastic system this , never without a signal anywhere, even when the three phones said no signal.
Must say though , never found a 4 g signal anywhere.
Now I must take it all back about fon, found it worked in many places , don't know what changed but have never been able to find a sign of it before.
Now the big one , I have been the biggest critic of watering cans to fill the water up, but thought I would take one to try, and found it brilliant we went with a full tank and then just shoved a can full in anywhere we saw a tap, saves unwinding hoses, getting the right end and wrapping it all up again.
Loads more stuff to say but I'm wearing my finger out, and probably boreing you all to death.
