    sat navs

    I always get my POI's from Archies website although I imagine that he gets his co-ordinates from ACSI. I don't recall having a particular problem in finding sites on my TomTom and I have used dozens of their campsites. If you find a POI which is incorrect Archie is always happy to hear from you...

    Calais

    Some pictures of the two sites mentioned http://www.davidklyne.co.uk/CampingLaBienAssise.htm and http://www.davidklyne.co.uk/camping_les_epinettes.html Les Epinettes is quite a basic site but quite comfortable for a couple of nights and cheap!!! David

    TV in South of France

    Eileen I don't think we really know yet as I an pretty sure the change does not happen until the middle of the year. Have you looked at www.satelliteforcaravans.co.uk as there is a lot of useful info there. We will continue to take our 80cm dish with us. It might mean that we won't get the...

    Camping Les Berges du Canal, Villeneuve les Beziers

    Joanna We arrived at the Les Sablons, the site I mentioned above, in late August and despite using the ACSI Card we had to pay in advance for the first week of our stay. When I asked why this was she told me that all the other pitches that had been booked had been paid for in advance. Come what...

    Camping Les Berges du Canal, Villeneuve les Beziers

    Certainly is, Margaret enjoyed it but I struggled with it and I have read many canal associated books in my time and had a boat on the canals before we started caravanning. We stayed here in August http://www.davidklyne.co.uk/camping_les_sablons.html which was only a short cycle ride or walk...

    Site near Dunkirk

    Barry My vote goes to Chateau de Granspette. Its not too far off the A26 or D300/600 on the other side. It has a nice restaurant as well. I have lost count of the time we have stayed there. Some pictures here David

    UK Television via internet - namely, "My Expat Network"

    Barry My experience of trying to use such services abroad on a laptop is that the come up as not available in your region. One way to overcome this is to use a routing service which tricks the service provider into thinking you are in the UK which is done by IP address. Your only other option...

    French Leave, my latest Blog

    Steve It was some years ago but were were in Pisa and we visited the Duomo. Margaret was modestly dressed, including a scarf to cover her shoulders but that was not enough for the man on the door who had a long stick to poke people with. She had a little bare flesh showing on her arms above...
