Well, what a fantastic time we had with Barry & Jan, thanks guys
. This was roughly how our trip went. We met at Folkstone services on the M20, then on to the tunnel for our 16:20 crossing. A couple of hours drive down France to our first stop in a B&B in Rouen. Next day 340 miles down to the B&B in Brive-la-Gaillarde, then finally down to Andorra on day three, 250 miles. We stayed in a small hotel in a village called Llorts which in a quiet valley. We had eight days to explore and show Barry & Jan round as we had been back in 2014. Lots of driving on twisty mountain roads with views around every corner, picnic stops with a brew up, meals out and of course a few drinks. The first leg of our trip home was 310 miles up to the B&B in Limoges, then day two was 400 miles up to the B&B in Boulogne-sur-Mer. tunnel crossing at 09:50 then (for us) a horrendous journey back home. Lots of traffic on the M25, Dartford Crossing, M1 so baled out off the motorway network onto the A5. All was well until we go stuck at the M42/A5 junction which was locked up solid due to an accident on the M42. Then it rained, welcome back to Blighty
. A total of 2,137 (mostly) top down miles and used just over 60 gallons of petrol, brilliant.
So... a few photos from me...
Now the planning starts for new year...
