Day 1 - Folkstone to Bruges

Day 1 of our autumn adventures!
The adventures began before we even got to Le Shuttle check in as we missed the turn off from the M20 (slight confusion on my part), thankfully I’d anticipated something like this and we still checked in with plenty of time to spare. Automated check in was fun as all the buttons on the screen were too low for me so I had to hop out the van to collect my paperwork. Then off to pet reception where I had to ask the lady to repeat everything twice, hard to hear over all the dogs barking! Paperwork all fine thanks to Anton Vets and we were given the all clear to wait for our boarding time. A couple of passport checks and we were boarding! 35 minutes later we popped out in France - it really was quite easy! Straight onto the main road to Belgium and after a little bit of scary town driving, we made it to camp in time for lunch and a beer to take the edge off! We’ve tried to relax a bit this afternoon, it’s warm and we have a nice little wood next to the site so we’ve been popping in there for little walks. A couple of Belgian beers have been sampled and we’re ready for a bit of TV and an early night ready for a very adventurous day tomorrow!Read more
