Description
Dont forget you must have a valid Passport to travel.
On Saturday the 11th of October we are off to France for the day via the Hypermarket (perhaps a good time to stock up for Christmas).
For us to have a good amout of time I’ve chosen P & 0 for our Ferry Crossing out and Le Shuttle Euro Tunnel to bring us home.
Estimated times we travel, subject to changes and always confirmed 3-4 weeks via email. Please check spam/ junk if you have not heard from me.
