Hi Ian
Sorry for slow reply.
We have always run these runs as informally as possible. Folk can join us anywhere they like and stay in France as long as the like.
We (Louise, William and I) will not be leaving Yorkshire until William leaves school and Louise leaves work. We will be dashing straight down to Dover and getting on a late ferry. We always drive straight round to the Aires de Service (Motorhome parking area) the other side of the port and go straight to sleep.
I recommend you set off earlier and has a less stressful journey to the channel.
The meet up points will be:
Aires de Service, Calais, 9.00am Saturday 24th May 2014. Breakfast.
ED Supermarket, Forges-les Eaux. 1.00pm. food shopping and Lunch
Camping St Paul, Lyons-la-Foret 3.00pm
We normally have a bit of a do on the Saturday evening with everyone bringing something from their local area to add to the table. I will bring a bbq and the Supermarket in Forges-les Eaux has an excellent butchers counter. If it is wet, the Campsite has a room we can use. It is a very good campsite and they are very welcoming. The site is big enough to let us all to camp together.
Trip report of the 2010 trip http://www.dormobile.org.uk/phpbb/viewt ... f=34&t=731
As for coming home, we have not yet decided how long we will be staying, but we will be staying at least until Tuesday. Louise has the whole week booked off work, but we still have a lot of work on the house to finish.
Let me know if you need any more info
Cheers Mick
