Hi All
Just a quick thanks to all who offered advice on stopovers for our UK trip last week, the apps suggested were useful and we used them, we only stayed on 2 sites, Lychett Minster Manor ( Super helpful people, we had gravel and needed to swap to a solid base for wheelchair and great site) and Oakley farm nr Highclere Castle ( so so quiet and peaceful).
The driving was fine, LHD in the UK can be exciting/ scary at times, only 2 Ooops moments with the wrong side after turning out of junctions but that was all, had a great visit to DAVAN in W-S-M, looked at the Pilote P969D which has a more suitable accessible layout, Mark Davies gave us time and explained a lot of things and gave us the LHD with Auto options so we can compare with prices and availability here in Germany........much better service than we get here by a long way.
Came over with DFDS, the tunnel is way overpriced, the service was fine, we found it easy to get on an earlier ferry on the homeward leg and get a head start across France.
Now home and getting ready for the 3 weeks in Spain in July, but will be back in the UK next year.
No problems with customs checks, no vaccination checks, no checks at all apart from passport which they stamped before I could stop them, I have German residency so the 90 days does not apply but I will remember next time to keep the residency card in my passport.
That's all
