Advance party breakfast at Best Western Hotel


After a warm shower, McDonalds and a sleep in a dry bed, the advance party settle down to a French breakfast. The rain is still pouring down outside. This morning we will go back to the campsite to assess the situation, but it doesn't look good!

France Update


I am sorry about the disappointing message you have had but the weather here is like a monsoon and the tents are leaking so at the moment it wouldn't be right to go ahead. I am trying to change the EuroTunnel booking to Tuesday morning when the weather is to pick up an be very hot. If I can your child can still take part, albeit for a shorter time. The advance party is staying in a hotel tonight and will update on the weather situation in the morning.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Lunch in the car in France - it's a bit chilly here!



Advance party arrive at tunnel


The advance party left at 6.35am on the dot and arrived at EuroTunnel with 2 minutes to spare - just long enough for Tyler and Kaitlyn to go to the loo!
We are now on the train and ready to go.
