Summer 2026 trip - Santander to Cherbourg
Probably not, been there before and basically going to want to chill on the site probably
We normally stop just the other side of the border in Urrugne.

You started it
When you live with IBS, you soon learn not to be fussy
Interesting that they needed that in English. Also, bare feet!
Thanks but we booked a stop already near there, Hendaye, literally on the border.We normally stop just the other side of the border in Urrugne.

Looking for a Spanish stop prior to that, might look west from Santander, haven’t considered that yet (needs to be within driving distance of the hendaye stop though)
Dunno if I've already mentioned this, but if you're straying into the Pyrenees, The Col de Pourtalet and Canfranc Station are must sees. You can cross the mountains by either route. Pourtalet is spectacular in good weather and biblical in bad weather
Did someone say Pairofknees?
Technically we were some way from there staying at Lourdes but by struggling to get onboard the funicular railway car we managed to get an excellent viewpoint from the cafe and bar at the top of an adjacent pimple...

Already worried about my daughter joining us as is says in the T&Cs that you need to book another pitch for another tent and we are hoping to use the canopy and 2 man tent instead of the awning with sleeping annexe. Theoretically should be better as this setup has a much smaller footprint but technically not allowed

Ok, so one more week of work then the ferry on Friday!
This will now officially be our last trip away in our T6 as we just put a deposit down on a westfalia which we will collect the week we get back so excuse me if I get a bit emotional in these posts!
Doing a bit of sorting out on the van yesterday, stripping out the latest batch of stuff that we are just carrying round and not using when I realised since we had the windscreen replaced we don’t have a crit air sticker! So had to quickly navigate that awful website again and order another, not sure if it will arrive before we leave but we have the email anyway.
Looking like the weather could be better here than in Spain which is fantastic!
We arrive at 8.00 on a Sunday morning so priority after arrival (and after clearing immigration!) will be food shop (could be a challenge on a Sunday) then I think we have some time to spare before we get to the campsite. Not sure if we should spend this in Santander or along the coast somewhere or (as I fancy) somewhere in land in the hills. Need to do some investigating on that

It does say that in some info, others just say it’s mandatory from the beginning of the year. Anyway ordered now (at vast expense as only the expensive ones were available before August!)
