Just back from Le Touquet in the last hour - saw no fuel problems anywhere - Channel Tunnel fuel station operating normally.

I didn't need any because I had topped up just before getting on the Eurotunnel but every Carrefour and fuel statinn I saw was operating normally (and I was checking) 2016 (L405) Autobiography in Black with Ivory - for ULEZ
2014 (L405) VSE in Black with Ivory
2011 (L322) VSE in Black with Ivory
2005 (3.2 V6) Porsche Cayenne in Black with Savanna

Fuel seems OK - I head home on Friday so hopefully I haven't spoken too soon.....

The obvious - make sure your insurance covers France, get breakdown cover & a fluorescent jacket

The only tip I have for the trip is to get a TelePeage tag Thumbs Up

I tried a few 12v cool box options - all a waste of time -for me atleast - Ice in a decent regular toolbox is good for over 36 hours, which is all I ever need.

I haven't - but could - always buy additional bags of ice from a supermarket en-route for a couple of quid - so worth doing the maths on how often you would really use it.

Flexi-plus on the tunnel is another tip Thumbs Up

I would hate to travel any other way now - if you're a regular traveller, then 10 or more cost £127 each Thumbs Up

Very wet at the moment, I am sitting in Luxembourg at the moment watching the river rise, it's already over the first bank.

Moving to Germany tomorrow then onto Austria on Saturday.
