Yes and never again, the kids were younger then and I swore I'd never do it again - the only bonus is you don't have to hire a car when you get there - apart from that it'll cost you a fortune in fuel and would probably be cheaper flying to Barcelona and hiring a car from there.

It's on my lottery win wishlist, but only then in something really class.

Absolute classhttps://buttercuppunch.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/chav-car.jpg" >

Just remember to factor in the losing of your insurance excess on the hire car when the idiot that you nominate to drive forgets that driving on the right means that you have to watch for parked cars on your right hand side rather than your left.

RIP wing mirror.

Nah, needs more body kit to be true class.

That's were the emergency took kit comes in - you can fix anything with a roll of Ducktape and a hammer

Driven down there in 2 days.

Leeds to paris then Paris to carcassone, well its only just over an hour to perpignan.

Use the RNs and motorways when free and still able to do the trip in 2 days.

have even taken an HGV there, allow four days though!

"Elise Driver" did it a few years ago. Hell of an effort to do that in a little tiny Elise.

Overnight needed - making for 2 full days drive.
Avoid Paris - traffic is a nightmare, so my suggested route, although on map it looks like you're going out of the way, the roads are easy to follow and you'll miss the M25 of Paris!!!!

From Calais aim for Reims then Troyes -Overnight here.
Then Dijion, Lyon, Orange, Nimes then down the coast past Montpellier, Naronne then almost there !!!!

Tolls approx £180 round trip..rip off....

Fuel - diesel 45litre tank - 1 fill up enroute down and 1 enroute back.Plus last full up in Calais as cheaper than in Kent !!

Take Calais to Bauvais, then head on M way Euro disney and Charles de Gaulle. Head for Melun and then Fontenbleau. Keep in direction of Nevers and Clermont Ferand, take Millau bridge, Beziers and then Perpignan.

Cant go wrong!!

Have you ever taken the P&O/Brittany ferries routes to Bilbao/Santander and driven down from the north instead ?

No Mc_f I'm not very sea faring.

Plus I see more opportunities to make a few quid in France.

Profits can be made in Spain too, but I leave it to those who are more frequent visitors to Spain to deal with the gringos.

BTW he is over for the Wolves match!

Stand by your beds, get another barrel of beer on standby
