Dragonball Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 you might want to get written confirmation of the filming bit, one of the Gumball Rallys went through the tunnel and the camera man got taken away by the police at the train terminal for filming, all the film in the camera was removed and he was sent on his way.. JB Good point John...waiting on them confirming all their verbal stuff now... Have to say they are a pretty efficient bunch down there and nice with it...the new automated check-in will be a nightmare - I will give it 3 months in the summer!

Jiversteve Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hi guys, I will be in France before you!! I will be stopping at Brother in Laws holiday home in Berck a few mins up the road from where you will be staying. A few questions that maybe should be directed to organisors and comments for all. For fuel and food there are Tesco stores just off the M20 at J10 (North Side) and J12 (South side) for last minute purchases. Will you be pausing to regroup when you get off the shuttle, Bleriot Plage possibly, or shall I meet you at the Total garage on the motorway? I forget what the toll is, something like 3.40 Euros (both ways) so some euro coins would save time there. There is a dedicated British RH drive toll on the way south to get your ticket, but elsewhere your passengers will have to get the ticket and pay the toll. Forgot that you were organising food on Saturday night. Do I need to let you know what I want (2 x meat) and when do you want payment, just for food, or can it be sorted on the night? If you are into duty free and wine I have found that the Berck Carrefour has been OK but Calais, Cite Europe has a greater stock. There are no supermarkets as such in Fort Mahon so if you have needs for breakfast get them in UK. Check with the AA etc. etc. for recovery if the worst happens. Also what documents are needed, insurance & the like, GB Badges & headlamp beam adaptors, also silly things that Frogs require like spare set of bulbs and warning triangles, just in case the Gendarmerie get stroppy. I have never yet been stopped but there is always a first, and we will draw some attention. If the worst happens I have facility for emergency accomodation and somewhere safe to leave a car in a secluded private estate off the main road in Berck. I will be coming back on the Monday or Tuesday via Bologne so will be waving you goodbye from a motorway bridge. Lets hope the weather shines on us, and see you there.

LeeT Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I definitely will. Her indoors doesn't fancy a "boys weekend" trip... it sounds like you're going to need a passenger to pay at the toll roads or you will have to unbuckle and get out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 ...Also what documents are needed, insurance & the like GB Badges & headlamp beam adaptors, also silly things that Frogs require like spare set of bulbs and warning triangles, just in case the Gendarmerie get stroppy. I have never yet been stopped but there is always a first, and we will draw some attention. Good call Steve. Here's some useful reading for all those not familiar with road law in France. Radar detectors are illegal in France whether in use or not. If you should be caught with such equipment in your vehicle, you are liable to a prison sentence, a fine, confiscation of the device and the vehicle. You should therefore ensure radar detectors are removed from your vehicle before commencing any journey to France. The French police strictly apply speeding restrictions and drivers exceeding speed limits face heavy on-the-spot fines. Drivers who break French driving laws can also have their driving licences confiscated by French Police; and the driver concerned prevented from continuing to drive the vehicle. This could lead to the vehicle being temporarily impounded if no alternative driver with a valid licence is available. GB sticker: UK registered vehicles displaying Euro-plates (circle of 12 stars above the national identifier on blue background) no longer need a GB sticker when driving in European Union countries.Speed Limits: Motorway: 130 km/h (110 when wet) Open Road: 90 km/h (80 when wet) Dual Carriageway: 110 (100 when wet) Town: 50 km/h Documentation: always carry your driving licence, vehicle registration document (V5), and certificate of motor insurance. If your licence does not incorporate a photograph ensure you carry your passport to validate the licence. If the vehicle is not registered in your name, carry a letter from the registered owner giving you permission to drive. Children in cars: children under 10 are not allowed in the front. In the rear they must use a proper restraint system appropriate to their weight, which means a child seat if they weigh between 9 and 15 kg. Over this weight they can use seat belts with a booster cushion. Headlights: Right-hand drive cars must be adapted using headlight deflectors ( Are we able to do this on Supes?) before you can drive in France, even during daylight hours. Spare bulbs are recommended. Warning triangle: Warning triangles are compulsory if hazard lights are not fitted. Note that if you intend to drive on into Spain or Italy you will need both. Oh and: Drive on the RIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
