We could all then meet up at Thurrock services just before the Dartford crossing. That will be your last chance for fuel before Maidstone services at j8 of the M20. We will aim to be at Thurrock services for around 12.30pm. Once we get to the hotel, myself Gary and Trina are going down to Dungeness if any of you fancy coming too. Stout footwear is recommended as you will be walking on shingle. Here are a few pictures of Dungeness but they do not do it justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali and Gail Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 @neptune and @Jude - The Mad Widow. Shall we say leave Newport Pagnell services at 11am, that gives us 1.5hrs to get to Thurrock and meet the rest for 12.30? Well will leave Brum by 9.30 so should be at Newport Pagnell services by 10.45 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neptune Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 In case you aren't aware the Dartford crossing has to be paid on line. Worth doing for both journeys before you travel as there's not much grace given to forgetful drivers ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth doing for both journeys before you travel as there's not much grace given to forgetful drivers ! Last year after loitering around Europe in my motorhome I returned home to a heap of envelopes from Dart Charge... I didn't even know I had to pay, there is nothing much to let you know... Fortunately after sending them my tickets they only charged me for not paying... not for not paying for 4 months! Its a horrible journey its a shame we can't go cross country...

Jude - The Mad Widow Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Just ordered a new European Health Insurance Card, it should be here just in time. It won't cover me in Switzerland so if I die can you drag me over the border, please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
