Cheers Patrick,

I appreciate your recommendation and will equip myself with both

Hi, thank's for your suggestion, the area looks very nice. Our preference is the Atlantic coast this year, however there is always next summer!

Yes, there will need to be some give and take in the choice of camp site. Can anyone suggest any camp site guides that they have found to be useful?
Thank you

Thank you both for your replies. I am planning to use the D - C crossing in August, however struggling selecting a camp site - looking for a good family orientated site probably in the Aquitaine region close to a beach, not too commercialised and would appreciate club 80- 90 recommendations? :? Much...

Hi chaps, can you tell me if the Dover Calais ferry crossing price was via a promotional code or an early booking offer?

Hi all,

I'm looking to go France next year and have heard that the locals go on their hols on and around Bastille day / 14 July. Can anyone confirm which weeks to avoid? is it the week either side of the 14th or 2 weeks after? All advice appreciated!

Hi I'd be very grateful for some pointers please! The westy water tap has just stop working, mechanically turns without abnormal resistance etc, two electrical contacts at base of tap appear OK.

Hi Silky,

I'd appreciate any recommendations & advice like I said not ventured out of UK, but fancy some sun etc.
Is the surfing any good at those beaches you BBQd on? Do the french have beach life guards like UK? Peace of mind with the children.

Thanks

Hi eveyone,
I'm also interested in doing simmilar next year. Must have good beaches, surf and hopefully sun, however crowded resorts do not apeal. I presume I would have to travel below Brittany? Never venture out of UK with the van before. Will read with interest your views and recommendations.

Hi Gavin,

I would say M25, M4 (to Swindon), A419, A417, M5, M50 averaging 60 MPH approximately 3.5 - 4hrs. But will depend on how free flowing the M25 and M4 and how many comfort stops on route. My estimate is assuming reasonably free flowing traffic with out a long break.
