Anybody know where's the cheapest place to buy them from or any offers?

Hi Sandra We have just had a similar experience looking for Vets open on Sunday for the Monday Sailing from Santander and like you we have two dogs. Our experience was that Vets in the Ferry area were quite expensive, having a captive audience as it were, adding a further 30 - 50 euros for...

I have a 18 month old 110amp/h battery that is slowly losing its charge. It is fitted into a Bailey senator indiana. We are currentley on site for a month & the voltage has dropped from 13.5 down to less than 11 v over 2 weeks. My concern is that when we move off, it will not activate the...

We stayed at Municipal Les Pommiers, Rue de la Haie Breton, Riva Bella. Tel: 02 31 97 12 66. Literally 5 mins to the Ferry Terminal. A good Night Halt, probably the closest to the Ferry you'll get, a Le Clerc a short drive away for last minute purchases. Gates open 0700 - 23.00hrs. Basic...

Thanks for that Simon I'll check it out. V

Hi Does anyone know of a campsite that accepts dogs, about 2 - 3 hours from Santander? We'll be heading up from the Cadiz area so anything off the A67/N611 would be perfect. Thanks Vera

Hi Val, Thanks for that, I've already been in touch through a link on the Brittany site who replied as follows: "We do not have a vet in Santander that is open on Saturday afternoon but we do have a vet who can accommodate you for a Monday sailing. Our fee for arranging this will be

I wish it was that easy! Having just booked our return ferry I had forgotten that most vets are closed Saturday 1pm until Monday morning so the 'not less than 24hrs before and not more than 48hrs before check in' nonsense gives me a treatment time of 15.45hrs Sat - 15.45hrs Sun. Hence my...

Does anyone know of a Vet that is open Saturday afternoons or Sunday Mornings in or around Santander area. (Or possibly en route to Santander from Cadiz area that could accommodate us in the given time-slot) We are booked to return to Plymouth on Monday 5th May 16.00 hr.

It looks like the 3 main routes south from Calais to Garda are via: Lyon, Munich or Basle. Do any forum members have experience of any of the above or comments which is the best route. All comments appreciated. Brian

Hi again, As far as I can remember there were a mixture of large and medium pitches. We managed to find a particularly large corner pitch near the swimming pool, plenty of room for our 7m caravan, awning & car to park well away from the site road. The adjoining pitch to the right was also same...

Hi Rob We've stayed several times in the loire mainly overnight en route to Spain. But for longer stays, campsites I wouldf recommend are 1} La Citadelle, Loches. A short walk from this site and you're in the medieval town of Loches which is well worth a visit in it's own right. We also visted...

Hi Darren, we stayed at this campsite in April this year for 3 nights on our way back home from Spain. Obviously this is an out of season report so I don't know how it will compare to summer there. Even in early April the camp shop was open (Supermarket shopping close by in Biscarosse about 4...

Hi Clive, Thanks for your reply, What time of year did you visit?
