DRIVING BACK TO UK
I will be driving back to UK in September in a Transit (have a small pet dog) so am thinking of Valencia, Zaragoza , Pamplona and staying around Castets (France) on the first night, I am mindful of filling up around Irun before getting into France. It's 559 miles and approximately 9 hours 34 without breaks. Does anyone know of any pet friendly accommodation around this area? Day 2 will see us heading towards Bordeaux, Niort, Angers, Le Mans to Rouen and again we will be looking for pet friendly accommodation. This is 525 miles and 9 hours without breaks. Day 3 is headed to Le Eurotunnel and then into the UK. I am informed that the Supermarkets, specifically Carrefour, Super value U & Intermarche are the cheaper option regarding diesel. Has anyone done this route recently and having done it before, I want to break it down into bite sized chunks, as I know it can be tiring and I am the only driver as my wife will be looking after our little pet en route. Any other tips from you good people? I intend to set off around 5-6 am on the first stage, to make the most of the first day. Thanks in anticipation. PS I wanted to avoid Paris at all costs, as it was a nightmare on 1 previous trip.
