Can you not avoid France and sail back to U.K. from northern Spain.

That would double his journey and he would have to travel across France to get to Spain.

It was like a millpond both ways when we did it.

I had thought about it but its more borders and more restrictions to get my head around

There are ferries from Italy to Barcelona

20 hours from Civitavecchia (Rome) to Barcelona, Barcelona to Bilbao then ferry to Portsmouth against long drive and tolls..... just an option

It's costing me £390 for the one from patras to Ancona id still have to drive from Barcelona to Santander etc

3 full days and nights on boats i couldn't handle

 

[gus-lopez]

That would be cheaper than the test?

I have suffered with "car sickness" since childhood. My parents could reduce me to instant nausea at the site of "Quells" travel pills (other brands aree available). I graduated to sea-sickness as a teenager whilst working on Sark CI. and can be queezy during take off and landing on flights.
Many years ago my brother, then a Royal Marine gave me some travel pills that the marines were issued with 1called "Avomine" I have never seen these on view at a chemist but on asking they have always been available.
These have solved all my woes, I can happily use any form of transport after taking one of tbese pills or one every 24hours for prolonged travel more than this does cause me serious drowsiness.
If sea crossings are a source of concern to Tam,I would highly recommend this product but whether he could actually find tbem at this point I wouldn't like to say but before his next trip I would strony recommend keeping a packet stashed in the moho.

Aye but also forced 7 day quarantine and still need a test.

Test in italy for molecular apparently €60

It's an old fashioned antihistamine.
Phenergan is another brand name.

Antihistamine is a wonder drug, so many uses.

Ive lots of that

 

[carolyn]

Ive lots of that

Modern antihistamines like loratadine and cetirizine won’t work for seasickness at all .

Stay in Greece...weather will be really picking up and April is meant to be absolutely beautiful...spring flowers all come out in Peloponnese ...Greek Easter (1st May ) lots of celebrations and lockdown will end with bars and restaurants opening up so I hear. Then head back in nicer weather and lockdown restrictions ease up in France and Italy.

He can't due to 90 in 180 day rule.

Is that even being tracked at the moment ? Northernraider could say he has been in Croatia.

I expect I would have to prove it ....i think my passport will be stamped when i cross channel and they will assume since stamping began on jan 2nd that ive been here before that. And i think its up to you to prove you haven't overstayed not the other way round.

But besides that if i want to travel again next winter and have built my vario before then I can't spend any more time here just now. I need at least 6 months to build it and i need to earn a few quid back home too

Happened to us too . Épicentre was at Sparta . Strange though van moved but when you stood outside you couldn’t feel it . Must be the tyres ?
