Lenny's heading South yet again

[lunarman]

Hi Cliffyboy,
We are booked in to La Pépinière from the 24th May so we will probably pass you on the road somewhere! Shame we can’t meet for a beer or two somewhere!
BTW which is your favourite site?

Hi Colin we are booked into Pepiniere from the 1st June along with Taran_Las. Glad you are back on your feet will see you there no doubt.

A75 Why are they leaving.
Travelling south today, Orleans - Bezier - Spain . . .
Must have passed 50 or 60 or more motorhomes going opposite direction on A75.
What do they know? Is it traveling day? Have their visas run out? Home for Easter?
Starting to get worried

 

[bellabee]

I bet with that weather, plus the unusually high forecast, if its not busy down there already, it sure will be, Zee Germans are coming! Lets hope there is some room left for "Our Lenny"
Campsite owners will be rubbing their hands.

We're at the Anibal camper area in Aguilas. We've been here for almost two weeks, and it's time to move on tomorrow.
The weather is fabulous and the site is about a third full. Loads of space for everyone!
In the time we've been here, we've only seen 2 other British vans. Most of our neighbours have been German and French. We get on well with them .
The beaches are almost empty, the sea is clear and blue, the town is lovely and Spanish, and the aire is €10 pn incl ehu and showers.
Off to a spacious wild spot tomorrow.
There's plenty of space for everyone in this little bit of paradise!

 

[GAVLAD]

I have to look these places up on google maps as I've never heard of half of them never mind the fabulous aires

Looks a nice little Aire that Lenny.
Are you sure you’re in France?
Is that a French Toad I can see there?

Tried to upload a picture but file to large.

 

[Fdhadi]

Managed 137 miles today now at Luant small free Aire behind a restaurant by a fishing lake, just south of Chateauroex. Stopped here last year on the way home.
A bit warmer down here 24° even got me shorts on.

French Illegal Toad???

 

[Lenny HB]

French Illegal Toad???

Yep, I noticed that.

 

[Rogerwyn]

French Illegal Toad???

Somebody on a wing and a prayer

 

[Fdhadi]

If you get a chance Lenny, ask a few questions!

[TOAD on Tour]

With all the other issues in France re; strikes, protests etc….probably best time to have a TOAD as they’ve got bigger fish to fry! If they got pulled over, they could even say that they’d ran out of fuel due to the strikes, that’s why they are towing it!!

 

[Snoopy]

Is it holiday time already ( always love your pics )
Enjoy your travels together

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Set off on another trip today don't where we are going no plans so could be France, Spain or Portugal.

Left home at 9:15 this morning and by 10:40 we were bobing about in a boat on the English channel.
Not only did the ferry leave 20 min early it arrived at Dieppe 35 min early.

As we docked at Dieppe several fishing boats came into the harbour quite close to the ferry and started letting of smoke flares. Lost track of what the French are protesting about they do it so many times.

Good Luck with the trip Lenny

[Mr porky]

Have a great time. I'm assuming the new sim hasn't put a foot wrong

We have also been there twice, once down the other back, the second time we didn't realise it was the same place till we got there.
That's how much planning we do.

Whoops forgot to set camera for coordinates.
49.30601, 1.15631

Hi Lenny. I tried entering the co-ordinates for Pont de lArche but they came up as near Cherbourg, not Pont de lArche where I hoped to find the Aire you were in. Alan

I think you have put the second co-ordinate in as W (west) It should be E(east)

 

[Lenny HB]

Must be you, just checked them they are spot on.

 

[lunarman]

Must be you, just checked them they are spot on.

In future could you specify W or E. Rouen is east of the meridian I made the same mistake when I first entered them.

 

[Just smiffy]

I just look at the town\village that Lenny is in, it’s not difficult to find the aire….

 

[Lenny HB]

Those ones weren't on the photo to check them I just copied and pasted into Google, if it was West it would have a minus in front of the number.
Didn't you lot lean anything at school.

Don't do things like that at school now, it's all what three words and suchlike nonsense.
