Lens aire

An aire visited on 08/08/14

Once we'd navigated around the height barriers which went half way across the road, this was a great place to stop overnight with 6 clearly marked motorhome bays. Free to park and free wifi from McDonalds next door. Motorhome service point takes credit cards, not coins

Peugeot garage

A garage visited on 08/08/14

Fixed a disconnected line on the carb and sent us on our way

Breakdown spot 3

A breakdown visited on 08/08/14

Broke down in torrential rain; a bang, then the oil warning light came on. Turned out to be a line to the carb that had come loose.

Filled up with petrol; 1.559 Euros per litre. NB - they only had SP98, not SP95
