  1. Hiya, I’m Tracey and live in the far south west of Cornwall. I own a ‘73 and ‘68 bays oh and a ‘88 t25.
    Off to France in the ‘68 to the Le Mans classic. Hope you’re all well!

    Half way to the chunnel right now, I’d do Poole if I was coming from your direction too.

    I spent many a happy school holiday with friends in Truro, and then lived in Plymouth for a slice of my teens into twenties (not Cornwall but close ;) ).... I keep threatening to drive the camper down to Crantock and Falmouth to catch up with old college mates, but as you say - it's a long old way, especially at 25mpg!!

    But a lot more driving in England, and nobody wants that. Cherbourg to Le Mans 280km, Dieppe to Le Mans 273km.

  16. Yep that’s how I worked it out, I’m going to Cherbourg. I’ve been from Plymouth to roscoff but that overnight crossing was dreadful

    And Roscoff to Le Mans is about 365km. Poole to Cherbourg is the obvious best route.
     
  18. Yep, obviously Plymouth is closer for me but I’ve done the Poole to Cherbourg and I actually like Cherbourg as a place anyway so I’ll be biting the bullet and booking that crossing in the morning just under 3 weeks to go yippee haven’t been to France since lockdown ☺️
     
  19. Welcome to the mad house.
     
  20. Thanks, I’ll fit in well
