Monday 5th July Off to France again


We hate these early mornings but if you want to beat the traffic on Wey Road to extract the caravan and also avoid the morning rush on the M25 then it has to be an 0500 early morning call. We arrived at Dover after an easy run of about 110 minutes and had time for a quick pee before heading on board and breakfast. The P & O usually has a Langhams Restaurant on board their ferries but not this one the ‘Pride of Burgandy’ and so on the fast food self service Restaurant for the full English please with two slices. The boat was crowded with very excited hundreds of schools kids and so we paid the extra to get in the ‘Club Lounge’ for a little peace and quiet.

We left Calais around 1145 Local time and headed towards Liseaux and Camping La Brevedent which is a very nice site with a small lake but it was a little busy and as we had planned to not cook our selves this evening we headed to the Campsite Restaurant and had an excellent meal and not so expensive either considering we also tried the local plonk and also Calvados. It was a very warm evening but overnight it went quite cold and so at about 0200 hrs we were searching for another duvet to heat up the old couple but we slept very well indeed.

We have previously stayed at this site about 20 years ago, and enjoyed our experience and hence our return to this location. Tomorrow we shall take a few photos of the site whilst also take a walk around the area
