Cite Parking Calais

[Sharon the Cat]

Just come through on tunnel 2220. Today. Spent 30 mins in a public cite Europe. Quite a few groups of migrants. spent 5 mins looking for someone to ask if where I was parked was ok. On return to Moho went to our side locker to get Cleaning kit. Had to ask the man inside the locker to get out Which he did Asked him politely to go away Could not believe a person could fit in such a small cramped space Spent the next ten minutes watching the various groups walking up and down they were watching the Motorhomes. Going up leaning on the sides and trying the lockers. Some Moho owners had left radios on Steps out to make it look like someone was inside. But it was obvious when no one got out and asked them to move that the Moho was empty. One owner was sitting in the cab. He said his wife and kids had gone shopping And no way was he leaving his Moho unattende .

We were parked up there once when the MH next to us found a guy curled up in the step-though of the scooter on the back rack.

We never ever cross either way in the dark because i like to clearly see what`s happening on the roads especially in front of me and all around.

This comes from many years back and before all the extra high security fencing was installed in and out of the Port of Calais.

There were migrants camping in tents by the side of the motorway and they were running across to get to the HGV`s going into the port.

One particular incident scared the shyte out of the wife because we missed one by inches travelling at approx 55 MPH when he ran across in front of us.

We`d been warned by the blokes on the ferry that it was bad out there, to keep everything shut and locked and not to stop no matter what happened.

In reality it was like something out of a disaster movie with debris thrown all over the place and scary as hell.

We even looked at other ports to come back rather than our usual Calais-Dover route.

When returning to the port 6 weeks later coming home the wife could not sit in the cab and went to the back so she couldn`t see what was happening.

She`d already had a few sleepless night prior to returning and was dreading the journey back into the port

I can remember those times, was worried going under bridges because they were dropping bricks down from the bridges to try to stop traffic.
