Summary We had no plans at all other than to meet a family commitment. The only preparation we did was to buy a Channel Tunnel ticket, travel insurnace and an ACSI discount card. Armed with these, some maps and a sat nav we set off deciding where we would go as we went along.

The return journey from Coquelles totaled about 2,500 miles and used 531 litres of fuel at an average price of 1.31 Euros per litre. This gave an average consumption of 21.4 miles per gallon. We used 8 campsites, 9 aires and wild camped once. 

Our favourite place of the trip - Calpe.
Best value night stop - Perigueux aire, France
Best value campsite - Camping Marjal with the ACSI discount
Worst moment – a refusal to supply gas at the Alicante Repsol depot!
Best saving – Use of the French aires.
