Alice the Camel Jan 2022 4:34pm, 9 Jan 2022 9,272 posts	0 Alice the Camel pops in The only reason we were on that blinking boat was because of the French border closures!!! Normally we take Eurotunnel and spend a few days driving through France and Spain. As XB says, the drive is very pleasant and it’s become part of the holiday. clears off again

I’ve ordered a solar trickle charger now to see if that helps - I’ll maybe go up in the week with jump leads and try and fit the trickle charger.

No way you’ll catch me anywhere near the Bay of Biscay in a boat. No sirree. Sensible. I've spent a lot of time puking up when crossing the Bay of Biscay
