We had to be off by 6am in the morning in order to be sure we would have enough time to get round the M25 in case there were any jams. No problems and we got to Dover without a hitch. Once in France it’s just a long boring slog. We got to the Massif Central before we were both too exhausted to drive any further, so we bedded down in the front seats in the van. Because we have so much stuff the van is full, so there is no chance of putting the seats back or sleeping in the back. Nights like this are spent waking up every 45 minutes because your head has flopped forward or your leg has gone to sleep. It was also really cold because of the altitude we were at. We woke up at 7am not refreshed at all, but at least ready to drive again.
