This is exactly true, just depends how you ( not you in particular) want to go about getting there. I'm looking forward to the journey, a couple nights camping, bbqs and fryups. As has been pointed out to me by colleagues it would be a lot easier and cheaper to just fly there but wheres the fun in that?
I was planning on leaving the UK on the 16th and heading for a campsite we stayed at last year, you know Shayne the one with the bar that stayed open for us, I don't have their address or website but it is plotted on my SatNav, I do have another one that was a good site right next to a lake. Plotted but no address.
It means you have to have a Green Sticker to enter the area.
is it like paying the congestion charge for a day?
I'm liking your plan Shayne, just hoping you're available for the guided tour of Europe. LOngest i've driven with one piss stop was fribourg in switzerland back to home, but that was in the beemer which is motorway mile muncher. Having a bit of an evening sounds good to me.It's a slog Nick make no mistake but on this our third trip i would like to see the actual drive diluted with some proper down time . To while away a few hours under a tree with a campfire each evening would make it perfect but as we know life's not like that .
For me , due to past experience , the priority is given to having a firm destination at the start of each new day and a clock that count's down all the way to it .
The one place we found without a plan was more or less a carpark with a tap . Another had a hole in the ground and no door for a toilet and a broken pipe on a stage in front of the entire campsite audience for a shower
I don't have any details but I think it's more like the vignettes you need for some roads which can be bought at M way services maybe the green stickers are the same.
Ah ok. I had something like that for Switzerland.
That's good I got the same reply.
