Don't know if this has been mentioned on here recently, but just thought I'd let you all know that the hieght barrier at Cap Blanc Nez has been removed (looks like someone has taken a chain saw to it!)

We stayed there last night with no bother

We normally stay on the Calais dock aires when les Erables is closed but to be honest it was occupied by about 30 - 40 of what could only be described as middle eastern refugees so we looked elsewhere (hence The Cap discovery)

Great to be back (not really!!)

Hey that's good news. We've stayed at Cap Griz Nez further down on the unofficial Camping Car/Mud/Uneven site which was extremely quiet and to our surprise the local baker turned up around 8am to sell the usual fresh baked offerings. Very enterprising but he was a bit grumpy. The Aires at Le Touquet are good too but are 45 min away from Calais.

The temps are about the same, but somehow it seemed much warmer in the mountains, maybe I was working to hard with them planks of wood strapped to my feet Wink
