Do you have to ask nicely for a cup of tea afterwards?

4/10 - Calais 6hrs - Option to stop at Chateau De Cove (30 mins before Calais) and get a Weds morning train/ferry or carry on and e back in Blighty on Tuesday.

Anyone interested in extending the trip just a little is more than welcome.

I did Gerardmer it is pretty much a 50/50 split. Reims/Calais is 8.5 & 2.5 and Mulhouse/Calais is 4.5 & 7 plus the 3+hrs on crappy Brit roads.

We are down to Plymouth on 20th but will be visiting brother-in-law so may or may not join the party!

We've got a seriously extended route planned - returning to Lake Constance via San Bernadino pass (the pass not the tunnel, weather permitting) then weave round the German Alpine route for six nights to the Austian/Salsburg boarder then a four night run back to Calais for the crossing. Re getting to Plymouth - getting there Tuesday, or even Monday, is on the cards. Thanks Liamp for the heads up - will consider as may also be visiting relatives.

San Bernadino is awesome, did the Grande and the Petit on bikes many times over the years. Motorbikes, not cycles I may add!!! Way too unfit for that malarkey!

Just subscribed to bip and go which does 4 countries. Pay as you go so only get charged the months it is used and it is much cheaper than emovis. Also found a voucher code SUMMER which saved me 10 euros so it has only cost 14 euro to activate and deliver tag.
You have to set up a direct debit and need the Iban code form the bank (Nationwide no good, used Lloyds).
If it works well I will cancel my emovis and get my deposit back which will pay for this plus the monthly charge. Bonus.

Thank you for the code. Unfortunately I have also discovered that Coutts doesn't work - "Your bank is not accesible (sic) for SEPA direct debits."

Shame. I had to use the missus account to get it through.

I got mine as a just in case. Not sure if we will be on tolls other than France. Long term it is cheaper for future Le Mans trip so it made sense.

If your not, you will be lost mate
I will check when I do final routes. Spain possibly not but France and Italy I would say yes.

It's a good idea but not necessary. The benefit is that you don't need to queue (probably) and don't have to faff about with tickets and cards at the tolls.
