Imminent travel to France/Spain!

Hello craicers!
Here looking out at the rain and despairing at European weather forecast.
Due to sail to Cherbourg on Sunday. Wondering if any members are in transit or parked up in either France or Med coast of Spain. What are weather conditions like?
We have flexi ticket so could postpone journey if needed.

Ebro valley in Spain is getting up to 28deg next week! I will be out around Easter (no motorhome) and again in July/August probably with the motorhome so looking forward to it.

If it was me going on Sunday I would change it as the sea crossing is rough, increasing very rough to high later Sunday. Very uncomfortable.

Will you do us all a favor and find out who it is that is sending all this crappy weather up here to us and ask him nicely to send it somewhere else

I just spoke to 2 Craicers last night. they are having a great time near Benidorm some rain but overall great weather in shorts most of the time

A big thank you for all the replies! We decided to defer sailing till next Friday 10th. Didn't fancy driving into bad weather in France. Not to talk at all of the sailing !
I guess it will be a case of driving through France as quickly as possible.
Craic sticker displayed ! And we hope to see others!

Denboyne- I know you are spoilt for choice when it comes to stopping places but can recommend the campsite in Les Peupliers in Couhe, about 25 mins South from Poitiers on the N10. Probably a busy one in season but virtually empty at this time , all the usual things there inc wifi, washer driers, parking by river but best of all in this weather a heated toilet/shower block- oh and you can watch the almost tame Coypu's forage a few feet from the river parking spots.

Hi folks, sorry for late reply Wi-Fi a big problem for me. Been in Peniscola since last Wednesday weather great, In Camping Eden 19 Euro per nite with ACSI. Will move on end of week, Drive safely

We finally departed on Friday, March 10th. Sailing was very smooth.
Arrived in Cherbourg at 4.30pm and headed straight to Aire in St. Brice En Cogles. About 2 hours drive. Lovely free aire with marked out bays, and toilets.
Following day drove to free aire in Uzerche, south of Limoges. Picturesque village.
On Monday we drove to within 20 miles of Spanish border. Difficult to find a place to park. Aires full with motherhomers returning from the South. Eventually parked in a small aire in St.Andre.
Tuesday morning dawned bright and sunny. This was more like It!
Crossed the border at 8.30 am. Decided to go to nearest site as weather was so nice. Les Medes in l'Estartit is open all year . So we parked up and have been here since. Wall to wall sunshine every day.....so far !

Petie, thanks for you good wishes.
We usually avoid toll roads but on this occasion because of weather etc we decided to take a chance!
Motorway from Uzerche to Exit 54 is toll free.
Had planned to exit there but stayed on motorway till Exit 59. (Just to check the cost - €24.)
Rejoined at J 60- (toll free around Mountauben) and stayed on till Toulouse (€8.50) then free around city.
On A61 from Toulouse exited at J 20 (€5.50).
From here we stayed on RN roads. Busy and slow at times but not pressurised.
We find travelling long distances at weekends best. Less traffic and no HGVS on French roads from late Sat.and Sundays.
Hope this helps.
