Gasper - there's only one daft question here - it's the one you don't ask!

The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

The clock starts in Dunkerque mid June for 10 days…..any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi D & S,
Our clock (first timers too) starts at Calais on March 18th.
Like Stew, (Artona) we wiil disembark from the ferry and turn right out of the port, hopefully on the correct side of the road.
Other than popping down to Charroux 86250 to visit friends, we haven't planned anything else.
In fact, we are so confident that we will like the "Euro travel thing", that we have booked another ferry in August, and will drive from Calais to Dusseldorf for the "Caravan Salon" and hopefully take in some of the Rhine and Mosel.
We will have to wait and see how it goes at the time.

I think the idea of just turning right once you get off the ferry is a good one, I will have a few maps to hand - not to mention satnav and a navigator.
Let us know what you forgot to take and we will do the same. - could have phrased that better.
There are plenty of useful lists on this site but I am sure I can forget something essential without trying too hard!
The gas is full, I have just fitted some extra batteries (and an inverter), the CCI card will be ordered at the end of May, Not taking any wine - thought we could try the local brew! What else do we need?
Now we have just got to listen to all of those free newspaper CDs to be fluent in French before we arrive in France - could leave that until we are on the ferry!!
We were thinking of booking a second crossing later in the season but now I am so impatient that I may just book one earlier.
Thanks to all those who have made suggestions - I am sure that a lot of France "Virgins" will be crossing the channel this year!! and we will all benefit from your knowledge.
Ps If you see us give a wave we always do - but thats another thread...

May I suggest you go to Forum" Continental Touring Information" and read my post" Notes for First Timers to Europe"
Then consult various peoples Posts on their trips to France. I must have about five trips recorded to France alone.
There is a vast amount of practical info to be perused in this forum.
Bon Voyage.

Eros - be very wary about listening to advice like this:

.............. It was through the tunnel and turn right................. and that was it. I simply looked at the map and headed for a yellow bit assuming there was a beach there.

We did just that once and didn't come back for 17 years!
One thing led to another..........
Whether you turn left or right you'll have a great time.

That sounds like a good trip.
