Thought i would share my trip as others have recently.
Started out yesterday morning, leaving S.Devon at 4.45. Going via the tunnel we reached stop 1, Chamonix, at 20.30. 860 miles in less than 15 hours, not bad going.
Roads were a dream the whole way. At one point, shortly after arriving in France, a caravan going the opposite way decided it wanted a closer look at the Zed, smashing into the central reservation, without a tow vehicle, at high speeds. It did its job and stayed well away from us.
The only incident that slowed us down was a crash where a van had gone into the back of a lorry. Police just waved us through even though the road was full of debris, books etc. Lost all of about 30 seconds.
Got reasonable economy on the way to Folkstone, should be able to get 380 miles per tank if pushed.
Car front was flymagedon, so much to the other halfs amusement i got the cleaning products out this morning and got it all shinny again.
Here today then moving onto Lake Come via some mountain passes.
