pieeater 0 Posted October 30, 2012 We thought it was about time we shared some of our photos, and to say thank you once again to Graham, Claire, Pete & Lynn for organising a once in a lifetime trip. These two V.W's were parked near us at the services on the M6 Toll road. A tight squeeze on the outbound ferry to Dunkirk. Our first stop on French soil.

G.O 20 Posted October 30, 2012 Yes it was a fabulous sunset, shame we could only have one night there !!. It certainly was a shame. We really wanted to have that first rest day around that time but we thought it was just too expensive to stat two nights there. Would love to go back to Montreux sometime. Loads more pics to come :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
