Finally Decided Scotland not France

[Jo001]

which is the better crossing to use

searching on here for itinerary if anyone has one

For Orkney (both questions)?

 

[mariesnowgoose]

No brainier. Why would you want France when you could have Bonnie Scotland.

Warmer climate, better food, less hassle parking up in a camper?

Better food, you must be joking, we gave the world Haggis, Fried pizza, mince and tatties, and Black pudding.

No wonder, I mean
Beef bourguignon, just doesn’t cut it, and as for their chicken Chasseur, well I can take it or leave it. Nothing beats a good plate of Mince and Tatties with dumplings.

They can't even make proper cheese Bill.

Give me Blue Stilton or a good Cheddar anyday.

You can get some awful food in France, in some of the dodgier cafes, i'm sure I've found not just a toe, but a whole camel hoof in the Cassoulet.

And as for that Horse Bourguignon...

 

[mariesnowgoose]

Relais Routiers.

Mmm mmmm!

Get yersel over to Hoy for a few nights. You'll have to if you want to go to Longhope and you can stop over at Rackwick and have a toddle over to the Old Man of Hoy. Easy to fill up a couple of days on Hoy alone. Interestingly I found that I could take our 8m Hobby from Spain to the Canary Islands for about the same price as Shetland and Orkney.

Certainly a good idea to visit Scotland while you can. 43 potential LEZs have been identified and as the aim is to reduce journeys by 20% tolls on motorways and bridges are under consideration. Link

 

[trevskoda]

All these LEZ zones have put me off going across the water, there is no such thing here, and no folk would accept it either.
