The site quietened down quite a lot yesterday afternoon and
today saw many more leaving/left. Once sorted and cleared up we joined them,
choosing not to wait in the queue of 8/9 vans waiting to use the service point –
there’s plenty more.
Our plan today to simply head north to a suitable jumping
off point ready for the Channel Tunnel tomorrow morning so we joined our old
friend, the D940, for a quiet run up the coast. With the gauge clammering for
attention, we realised that we wouldn't make Auchan in Calais so chose the
first supermarket fuel station we came to to top off.
With now no need for any more shopping etc., we decided to
stop at Wissant, a quiet free aire just 20mins from the Chunnel where we’d
stopped on the way down. We had noticed a lot of motorhomes today, many of them
Belgian, and arriving at Wissant at lunchtime were surprised to find it almost
full. However we found a spot and had lunch before starting a walk into the town,
which we had been told was very nice. However we hadn't reckoned with a cold
wind and did not get very far before retreating to the warmth of Bertie.
So we stayed at “home” for the rest of the day, relaxing and
finishing off logs and blogs ready for our crossing tomorrow.
And so endeth the France part of our trip.
