Speaking to people at Motorhome shows on the Fun stand I am amazed at how many motorhome owners have never travelled to the continent, I know that there is a lifetime of exploring to be had in the UK but a trip to France or beyond really is a must, for me at least.
The main reason that many do not cross the water is that they are afraid, when pressed, its nothing in particular that scares them its just the thought of travelling in a foreign country scares them a bit, not speaking the lingo, driving on the wrong side etc.
So I have been thinking, maybe we could do a bit of hand holding and list some of the tours we have made on the continent, or maybe we could design a couple of simple tours just for newbies, starting them at marine parade Dover and giving them a weeks tour in France or similar, where to go, what to see where to camp and park etc.
I know that many like me just turn right out of Calais, but I am sure that a written itinerary might encourage a newbie to give it a go.
If anyone wants to list a tour they have done or design one, list it here and I will get it put up where newbies can see it.
