I have been through the tunnel 3 times in the last 2 my months and it just usual tests .

As long as you have not got hundreds of kgs I think you will be fine. As it's for personal use.

We travelled out Saturday, got stopped at Dover and calais but just routine checks...mainly how much cash we were carrying..
Said we were going fishing and didn't question our bait at all

Just boarded the tunnel now and the only checks they made were for passports and they swabbed my van door handles for explosives.No vaccine checks at all even though I'm double jabbed so it's good old English boilies for the Carp and English sausage and bacon sarnies for me 👍

about 20 / 30 mins longer than normal - both ways (along with most people) i got pushed to the following train i was booked on.
Uploading all your covid requirements onto your online chunnel ticket worked a absolute treat. No hassle at all. Better than the airlines ive been on this year.

Hello mate, I have seen your post on taking your own bait... Get checked? get it taken off you at all? Im looking at doing the same

I came out last week on the tunnel with no issues at all and my mate came out to join me on the ferry last night and he had no problems either.
Are you sure?
