3 weeks since we left UK to travel thro North France, Germany, Austria,Italy down to Bari and cross to Greece. In that time we have only met ONE British van in Venice. The weather is superb, everywhere is quiet and not crowded. We are on a site at Ancient Olympia high up overlooking the Olympic site. It is very quiet very warm and sunny and not a Brit van in sight. Where are you all??

Are you at Camping Alfios ( or variant spelling !) ? Please will you ask the young couple in charge what they have called their daughter ? We were there last year, not long after she was born, and learnt how it is normal in Greece not to make a decision on names for up to 6 months.
The favourite was Helen.
I wonder if all the retired Brits are at home- wishing to avoid the hottest months-, school teachers haven't quite got there yet ( holidays started last week) and the rest have not really got a long enough holiday to get to Greece ?
We went in early April and May and reckoned we'd got the best of the weather and spring flowers etc.
We're in Budapest at the moment, a bit overcast here weatherwise.Have seen a couple of other brits but on the whole not too many at all since leaving UK a month ago
We have had this conversation before but we live by the A2 to Dover and travelling around here they are pouring down to Dover --so where are they going?
À tous mes amis du forum thankyou pour toutes vos pensées agréables et avec son amour derrière moi je lutterai contre mon conflit avec un esprit de postive et le triomphe
We'll be in Greece in a few months - got the rest of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey to get through yet!
We've seen a handful of British vans in 4 months but not many. Started a similar topic but it didn't go down well but I suspect you've asked the question with a bit more tact than I
Hi.
How does it go. If there are only two people left in the world,if one stands still,the other will find them. Answer,if you want to see loads of british m/homes,camp at Calais dock gates.
Ted.
All awaiting the French August holiday madhouse to pass with trepidation!
Me?
Catching Eurotunnel train on Sunday P.M, one way ticket, turning right at Calais!
Bugger the madhouse, if you can't beat em' join em'.
Well I'm on the 0815 Sea France sailing Sunday morning and will not return until 31st August YeeeeeHaarrrrr How happy am I ??
Heading to Annecy, then Chamonix (site booked for both before anyone asks ) and then wherever takes our fancy after about the 14th. Suggestions appreciated.
IT'S SUMMER... Ilove to stay in Blighty......

Saving the continent for September onwards...

Currently in the verdon gorges about 60 miles north of Nice. Have slowly come south from the Mosel in early June, Switzerland for a couple of weeks, Italian lakes and rhone alps. Weather is rubbish. Sat on a lovely small aire in the hills at Trigance. Apparently it will be warm and sunny after today but it's been hit and miss for nearly two weeks now.
Not seen many Brit vans. Made an effort to go and talk to a couple in a van near us the other day and it was like dragging teeth. Don't know why I bother.
There are Dutch everywhere though. Holland must be empty
going to go to st tropez, nice and Monaco next just so I can fly through that tunnel off the grand prix on me scooter!
Mrplodd if your of to Annecy and chamonix it's a short hop to the aosta valley and down to lake orta where there is a free sosta on mont de sacre monte. Lake Orta is stunning as is maggiore. Also at chamonix we went up to plaine joux about 12 miles west of mont blanc with superb views of the whole range. It's about 5000 ft up with an aire at the top. Sadly we didn't get clear views but still awsome. Not sure what the verdon gorges is like as we are poised to do them tomorrow hopefully on the bike so will report back. Took us about 4 hours from annecy to get here. Lake bourget over the hill from annecy and leas than an hour is stunning. Good aire outside a crap campsite 10 euros.
Hope the weather improves for all that are on the way.
