Re: Pork, Strudel & Cheese With Holes - a road trip :-)
No - I am specially collecting him before the tunnel as I booked the high vehicle section (for the width of course).
I will lose him soon after Calais as there are a few junctions there
Although I don't have the French camera detector anymore as it is still in the M, so will have to keep him with me a bit longer as I can never remember where the 3 cameras are that we pass ...

At least I will be useful for periods of the trip, though I'll never really know where we are
Note my comment above about keeping quiet about the time we need to leave on the Friday...

Excellent point Mark, no need to adjust for time zones to soften the blow. May as well give the full whack
