I couldn't book my usual 6am eurotunnel slot as they were really busy the day I want to travel so have had to book a 1.20am departure which is not ideal

My question is, are there any recommendations for somewhere to stop off on the toll roads that would be safe? I was thinking of having my bedchair set up on the back of my estate and pulling into a motorway services to grab a few hours sleep

Anyone done this or could recommend somewhere en route

I'm travelling to Moulinots near Sommeilles

Cheers

Why don't you get a later train ? They will let you on as I've done this myself in the past that way you don't have to hand about too long.

When you going ? As I'm out there in June

They are fully booked otherwise I would have

First week in April

What I'm saying is turn up a little later I've done it and got the train and also turned up early and got the train ok

All the services have big sleeping car parks. If you feel nervous maybe try getting near the forecourt.

I think I'll drive down to near the lake and find somewhere to park up. Venues are usually in remote locations so should be fine. Will just need a few coffees en route!

Book a little l'otel somewhere an hour or so away - usually dirt cheap and decent food!

Thanks for the advice.

Checked eurotunnel today and they've opened up more time slots. Probably due to increased demand as a result of the P&O issues

Managed to book a later train so staying over in Ashford before catching a more reasonable timed train

Ashford is rough as hell. Check your car/gear is in a secure car park....

Personally I'd rather just pull over on the Peage in France and get a couple of hours sleep in the motor as I have done so before.

I would personally check into Eurotunnel and sleep in their car park for a couple of hours if that's a option

Just to clarify, I'm staying at a hotel that I usually stay at and not sleeping in my car!
