On my way back from Spain (Barcelona)
Went out Portsmouth to Bilbao
Expensive but pleasant - 1 day drive from Bilbao to Valencia - easy
Came back through France - 2 day drive but hard work - always find that a "5 hour drive" turns out to be all day.
The second day really is too much and I always seem to find a hold up - this time roadworks in Rouen
Diversions round back streets, inches to spare.
And the cost of nearly everything in France makes the UK look cheap
Next time it'll be Portsmouth - Bilbao both ways - sod the extra cost
