It's a good thing they all didn't say that 70 years ago.

I am interested in doing this trip. I would probably take the camper van and go Dover to Calais. Where would you plan on meeting?

About 48 hours if your a good swimmer, or ferry Portsmouth Le Havre crossing is 8 hours out, 5.5hrs return.

If you're going to trailer it to the south coast you may as well just take the car to France.

I realise that to the geographically challenged a Welsh, who struggle to get past the sheep pen and where in navigation terms Normandy is like the Colwyn Arms next door. However to those with slightly more navigation awareness it is quite a large target to hit. Refining it a little would be really helpful...... 8-) :lol: :lol:

Open to suggestions on camp sites.

Never driven abroad and Don't fancy it but riding in a group I would feel ok.
I hope to find a member close to Portsmouth to leave the car or ferry port.

Whilst on the subject can you take a bike trailer on a ferry with bikes on it
?
