We (two couples in separate motorhomes/caravan) are due to use Eurotunnel for our spring break. Unfortunately there has been some local press suggesting that immigration disruption issues are set to get worse.
This has had an unsettling affect on some of our party.  This information seems at odds with postings on this site where threads re concerns on security at Eurotunnel seem to have stopped. Can anyone comment on recent experiences regarding security and migrant
disruption at Calais please.

    don't believe what may be published in some "news"papers, it's just sensation chasing headlines. no problems a t all a few weeks ago.

    Nothing in local newspapers sugesting any future problems.

    Are there problems in calais... Yes... Do you need to worry... No.

    plan your journey home so that you stop well before (comfort break, petrol etc...) and make sure all your lockers and doors are secured at that point as we have been asked when we last stopped on arrival at the port.  We make sure we have picked up anything
    we want to bring home (food, wine etc) before we leave our last destination rather than doing what we used to do which was stopping off somewhere closer before all the current situation started.  

    Whatever, don't let scare stories put you off what will no doubt be an amazing trip!!

    We travelled back through the tunnel last Wednesday ( 13 April) Topped up with fuel at the Marcel Doret fuel station, topped up with wine at Majestic and Calais Wine stores. (Excellent saving on wine) Then went to Eurotunnel, it was the middle of the afternoon,
    saw no migrants, no problems, nothing to worry about.

    Please see my comments regarding border delays in the "Calais" post. Absolutely nothing to worry about.
