Spooky....
arrived last night at Poole ferry port for this mornings crossing.....only van there....NEVER been deserted like that before......
checked BF website and, despite a few cancellations for french action tomorrow, no problem today.....so check if you're heading for St Malo
had a word with lovely BF lady this morning and they only have 50 vehicles on the trip today, so very quiet.
safe travelling and check for issues on 9th.

not envious at all.
I am. Didn't manage a Continental trip last year and looks like it will be the same this year. Until I have all the appointments sorted I am finding it difficult to find a slot long enough to justify the crossing to far away places.

Its a real pain having to work around appointments when planning a longer trip. OH is waiting for 1 appointment but it could take months so we are just going for it and hope we can then arrange it around us. Dentist, hairdresser and other various ones are not so bad but hospital appointments can be a pain.
Hope you manage away in the UK and probably near continent this year so as not to miss out.

tomorrow a long drive to Irun (just past Urrugne) and then across the Pyrenees on Friday via Pamplona, Zaragosa and down to Benicassim.
Apologies for the off topic.
'BB', can I ask if your route into Spain and onwards is also acceptable for caravanners? Just toying with the idea of Spain this year, but the Murcia area.

i have done that route with caravan, 7.3m coachman and Sorento no problems, did not like Zaragosa municipal site, very expensive even for 1 night and not very clean. Alternative route is Irun - Burgos - Aranjuez then cut down into Murcia. Last year we went Poole - Cherbourg, this year Portsmouth Caen, we only live 30 minutes from Portsmouth ferry, Poole is ok and you can pitch up in the port legally, they have a shower block but never used it, and a cafe that does mean bacon butties in the morning.
