Camping Saint Louis is less than half an hour’s drive from
the Channel Tunnel terminal at Coquelles. We arrived at the terminal quite
early and were offered a shuttle 30 minutes than we had booked – very handy! We
listened to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 this morning and heard the
weather forecast. Apparently the good weather that the UK have been
experiencing is finishing today with rain and unsettled conditions promised for
at least a week. They are obviously expecting us!
Operation Brock had been implemented on the M20. This system is designed to
ease pressure on the Calais port at exceptionally busy times such as the Easter
holiday period. The result was that the eastbound carriageway was closed
completely and the westbound carriageway had contraflow with two lanes in each
direction. There was a 50 mph speed limit for many miles and the traffic was
dense. When we got to the M25, there was another long stretch of 50 mph speed
limit for no apparent reason. All very frustrating and such a contrast to the
quiet stretches of good roads in Spain and France.
It rained for some of the journey back but, fortunately, not when we were
loading the car at the motorhome storage nor when we were unloading the car at
home. It was good to be home after a very enjoyable sojourn.
