After our engine issues, we are now raring to go, had a one day test drive to boost confidence all round, now just about to book a Chunnel crossing for early Feb, returning towards the end of Feb traversing our 35th wedding anniversary on 14th Feb , a wander through France
Before we had the engine issues we bought into a frequent traveller package on the Tunnel, shared with a fellow Funster and we were quite sure we would use our three return trips, but then we started with the limp issues
The bad thing is we only ever used one, the next bad thing is they have to be used including being home again by the anniversary of the set up which was 2nd March 15, but the good thing is we have a free trip, well sort of free, we still have to add in the supplements for the motorhome and Lola, but it still means a return trip for less than £50, technically of course it is still £150 but most of it was paid last year and long since forgotten about
The last time we went, my thread title mentioned the classic get to France and turn right or left, we sort of did both, me being persuaded to go up to Holland for the bulbs then down to Bordeaux, this time I am taking a little more control (yeah right) but we will be going straight on or right for sure this time
Nothing fixed although we will be committing to a return date, part of todays planning, my thought for night 1 or last night is one of the aires beside the Seine to the west of Rouen, a couple get regularly mentioned on here, will be trawling back through older threads in search of options for all the other nights
Nothing at all planned other than we would like to revisit Millau, possibly get down to the Carmargue and Carcassonne, plus we have an open date with @yodeli will try to work that in
Maps and diaries out on table as I write this, to be continued..................
