• N.E. France from 'above the Midlands'? 17 Aug 2011 (Forum)
  Worst part of the drive is getting down England. Driving is a delight over there with large empty dual carriageways. The Weymouth to St Malo fastcats stop at Channel Isles and so no real benefit. Similarly the Portsmouth St Malo is overnight and tediously slow going round Cherbourg. Tunnel
