Great memories, to say the trip didn't go without a hitch would be slightly misleading, the windscreen wipers came loose the one day, used a band aid to secure and was soon on our way :mrgreen: I over did the journey distances between sites somewhat had some very long drives but made each one in a day....
From Santander to Noja was just 28 miles, Sat Nav misbehaved on the first trip and our Spanish was very poor, fab week when we landed at the site.
From Noja we drove across the border into Southern France to Tursac the journey was mostly on old N roads after we had crossed the border into France. This journey was ... and I've just checked it out on bing 379 miles, was pooped after that drive and to be fair the kids did very well to stay with the plot!
Uploaded a map of the route, stayed off most the tolls (blue route on map), don't believe the journey duration either travelling at 60 / 65 at best
Nothing like a bit of pre - planning on the old atlas before the start of the journey eh!!
Fab week in Tursac / surrounds, this was definitely our favourite site, as selected by our daughter. From Tursac we meandered again on a long ish journey to the Vendee, Avrille a jaunt of approx. 281 miles the route we took don't believe the journey time on the map!!, a slightly scenic route off toll!! Great campsite kids loved the water park and beaches were fab just 5 miles from the site.
Our final leg was from Avrille up to a campsite close to St. Malo just 170 ish miles this time so quite a breeze and then the final leg from Portsmouth – S Wales.
Great trip, planning the next trip now…..
