I think the term they prefer is "campervanning". The resident itinerants get very upset about it being called caravanning Very Happy

Speaking as one of the wandering nomads, has anyone done anything about booking ferries yet?

Don't want to be left out of the convoy!

Nothing booked yet but Martin K has done all the homework. Works out much cheaper to go via UK and tunnel as opposed to ferry to France. Big difference on price depending on whether you go on weekend or week day (cheaper week day)
eg. Camper + 2 adults through UK = 399 euro (Sat/Sun) one way
Camper + 2 adults to France directly = 523 euro (Sat) one way

Some of us are hoping to travel on the Saturday before to allow a few days to get there and relax and acclimatise!

I've flights booked in and out of Zurich, Wednesday to Wednesday, but nothing sorted for accomodation yet. I'd be interested in one of the chalets at the campervan site, but of course they're not open for booking yet. If anyone has any more up-to-date info on these, or would be interested in sharing a chalet, would you let me know?

Off for 15 miles in the rain now - hurrah! Laughing
