  • The Slaws are nearly back to Calais after their holiday in the south of France. Last night they stayed at Camping Lac d’Orient in their Hobby motorhome Helga just east of Troyes. Mrs Slaw continues to get the pronunciation quite wrong! It’s pronounced trrrwaa 🤣 ‪@HobbyCaravan‬

    The Slaws spend the morning on the shores of the lake. Slaw takes some cracking drone footage of the lake! Their Lhasa Apso dogs Billy & Jessie enjoy a paddle and a run around the shore.
    Soon it’s time to go ‘On the road again’ in the words of Willie Nelson.
    The Slaws arrive at Chateau du Gandspette near St Omer in the village of Eperleques. A beautiful little campsite just 30 minutes from Calais. They are warmly greeted (off camera) by subscribers Clive and Julie from their home territory of Yorkshire who are just heading out for their holiday.
    They have a lovely meal in the restaurant, three courses for €20!
    The campsite is ACSI and with taxes costs €24.80 with ehu.
    The evening is grandly finished off with drinks with Clive and Julie. Have a great holiday you two!
    Stay tuned for the final vlog of this trip. Photos and drone footage of the Chateau grounds and the tunnel back to Blighty.

    Great price too for the wine! Neither of you looks too bad for your two week carb fest. Brilliant holiday and we both look forward to saying good morning to you guys one day. We say it in the van now and wagons role!we will have to practice our On y va as we’ve always said nous allons ! Hope you filmed the tunnel, I’m terrified of my first time in it or the ferry. We have driven into both in the car but not the motorhome 😬 take care guys and great video as always, enjoyed the drone footage too!

    Hello Simon and Ann, we have been trying to add a comment since after Gandspette, but Clives log in wouldn’t allow it (?), so using my new RUclips one . To all of the people following this France sequence, we used Simon and Ann’s guide as our check list to set off ourselves, and it was invaluable, they simplified it and gave us confidence to have a go, we have been to France many times, but the Covid situation, with regards to a lapse in going, and the paperwork situation made us cautious, but the ‘Slaws’ guidance, made us think ‘s*d it’ we are going, so from deciding to and actually going was 4 days. We met Simon and Ann on our first night in France and their last. We are still here with 10 days to go, all thanks to ‘The Slaws’ ! Simon and Ann are a lovely couple ( but they are from Gods own country) and good fun. Talking to them and watching them, made us realise how much time and effort goes into their blog site, so we all should thank them for their efforts. Hope you stay well and happy camping, Clive and Julie. Ps we will be marketing the ‘ We met the Slaws ‘ tee shirts soon 😂🤣

    That meal was a bargain, but you are nearer the Channel and prices are generally less than the Med coast.

    Hiya Mr & Mrs Slaw. Question please. Does your HUD simply plug into your OBD2 socket. Do motorhomes require a special HUD or would any normal car HUD work. Love watching your vids.
