• n/a - Tanker drivers striking in France - again. 2 Jun 2017 (Forum)
  Yes - they are at it again - striking for more money. So if you are coming to France, probably not a good idea to arrive with a near empty tank. You might be ok for a fill up, you might not, it depends where you go and what the local situation is - it's a bit hit and miss at the moment
• N.E. France from 'above the Midlands'? 17 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  means driving S.E. to then drive S.W. Best so far is Portsmouth Caen 7am sail and there by afternoon. One pundit suggested Hull Zeebrugge, then thrash across France. At first sight this appeals as zero traffic to Hull but full overnight ferry and just can't sleep on them. Flying Leeds to Rennes

• French trip 24 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  We are going to France in April. The journey will be from Richmond, North Yorkshire to just South of Troyes. There's very little difference in mileage to our destination from Zeebrugge, Le Havre or Calais. I used to enjoy motoring in France but haven't been since 2001. Are there any changes
• Holiday observations 8 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Observations from France just in case anyone is interested ;-) 1. The road surfaces are atrocious out of Dunkirk, which is the most depressing entry into France I have seen. Can recommend Norfolk Line, though. The Kids like Buffalo Grill. 2. The front and rear number plates never match on Dutch
