Bonkers title, which if you haven't worked out I will now explain
We have a trip to France every February for our anniversary, this year is slightly more challenged due to Mums deteriorating condition, but we have decided life for us mustn't change too much, provided we can put things in place to keep Mum safe
Not actually booked the Chunnel yet but looking at Monday or Tuesday 5th / 6th Feb, returning Tuesday or Wednesday 27th / 28th Feb
In early planning we hoped to get down to Totana as the destination, with a few other funsters, their plans have changed and being realistic it now seems too far, particularly given the additional criteria I have decided to implement
That is, once in France we will drive a maximum of 200 miles a day for the first 7 days, to our 'furthest point' from Calais, then turn and head back at a maximum of 100 miles / day, mostly using aires for single overnight stops, but once a week so 3 or 4 times on the trip we would like 2 nights on hook up, probably on a site
No real plans for where to get to although we have both said for our anniversary (wedding, 37 years on 14th Feb ) if weather not too bad Gorge du Verdon area would be nice
I am now planning route options with these mileage rules applied to see how far we can get at a maximum, Totana not totally ruled out but unlikely, if not impossible
