After 4 months touring in France, Spain and Portugal, we have seen less than half a dozen Brits. Normally we encounter far more. Has the risk of changes within Europe really made such a difference?
I can also add that in the past Aires on popular campsites can be overcrowded in the high season, this year we have found space everywhere.

We were down the Mossel Valley start of July for a week only saw about two UK vans there. Quite refreshing actually... (y)(y)

1996, then break 'til 2011
Why do folk have to drag Brexit into threads?

The simple answer is that (surprisingly!!) there are more European MHs in Europe - British vans (and All British vehicles) are a rarity over there

- and always have been !

We have been out there, came back in March, been out again in July, back out again late September.

Well yes, Brexit did affect our or decision to come back as early as March, then the bloody thing didn't happen.

We certainly decided not to go abroad in June as usual due to Brexit but are now going out to Portugal and aim to be back before HALLOWEEN!

Roll on Brexit, do us proud Boris!

Avoiding France due to Gilets Jaunes troubles continuing and never been to Portugal.

Happy to return to Europe once Brexit is done and dusted. Used to travel in Europe before the EU came along and not a problem!

There has been no shortage of Brits on the Mosel, but it has been quieter than last year. Not as many Germans have turned up this year, maybe they are all in the UK taking advantage of the exchange rate.

We never see many British vans in France anyway, this year we have seen even less, but many more Italian and Spanish than we ever have before.

We arrived in Spain in early May and there was fewer UK vans around. Can't talk about june due to having to return to UK due to wife's illness at Calpe.
