No checks at all

[Howard H]

Well boarded the 6.20 am train this morning at Eurotunnel and not one blooming check . We where never asked for any injection proof ,not checked for food and they never even checked the gas. All the stress of worrying about the paper work was to no avail but on a happier note we have found a lovely little camp site at camping Val de boutonnière at saint jean d’anglely. Only 19 euro without electric. The funny thing is we followed the Coordinates for the aire and they took us to the campsite ,the campsite is onto a winner I think. Tomorrow we will probably push on down spain then the next day to Portugal ,then chill for a month or so happy days.

We've found some of the aires have closed and there is a campsite there instead. Enjoy your travels.

Have I read that right? Spain in a day and another day to reach Portugal! Blimey, I thought motorhoming was about leisure and pleasure

Sounds fantastic, have a great trip. I've just spent about an hour sorting out a trip to The Alps to see our son. It didn't take much doing actually.
Then read your post re no checks and laughed as I might just have jumped through all the hoops for nothing.
Still, we are going and already looking forward to it. My wife hasn't seen him for a year now. So both fully jabbed, declarations printed out, tunnel booked, day 2 tests ordered for our return, just the dog to sort out re health check thingy and we also will be over the channel and away.
Bring it on.
