Hey Al, have a read of this: http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/compulsory_equipment.html I'll get a thread up soon reminding everyone what they need to bring with them. You can buy the full kits off the likes of eBay and Halfords for around £30-50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I have to stick a GB sticker on the car The route will be revealed on the day, petrol station visits have been included into the days too. Don't worry about the GB sticker, I have driven to Europe nearly 20 times and have never (actually apart from once) used a GB sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said if we find one near the hotel then I'd recommend you fill up in the morning (most do to be honest). Don't worry about the convoy, you can relax and just follow the maps... or the lead, which I don't think will be Branners this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 We tend to release the routes closer to the event just in case we have to change them at the last minute. We dont want wrong routes being out there! There is a shell petrol station just down the road from the hotel, I would suggest filling up each morning to avoid having to stop during the day. I tend to top off the tank whenever I can just to make sure. The Saturday route should be about 200 mile round trip, which is less than a tank of petrol. Friday and Sunday should be about 150 miles each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottC Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/compulsory_equipment.html So you are still required to carry a self-test breathalyser when driving in France but there is no current legislation demanding a fine for non-compliance.
