Me & 3 other lads rented a motorhome and drove down - I'd reccomend that to anyone, cheaper than flying and you can plan your own route and have more of a laugh - We stopped at a campsite 10 minutes away from the Irish bar, was brilliant.

can't bloody wait! 17days...and counting!

And it's currently cracking the flags. Bring your suntan lotion

Did the trip two years ago week after we played wire in the snow first game of the season. Me and Mrs left JJB at 10.00pm armed with a Tom Tom few changes of clothes and a ferry ticket.

Drove down to Dover in snow caught 4.00 am ferry arrived in Calais 6.30 am ish and then down too Narbone in SW France arriving about 8.00pm where we had rented a cottage. Following Sat went to game, the one where it RAINED!! and Lockers won it for us in last minute sliding over the line in the water.

Then drove home, back in Wigan Sunday morning with many happy memories.

Well worth the trip!!

Try here; www.viamichelin.co.uk/ According to that you're looking at 1,584km and it should take 15 hours, 19 minutes. You'll pay 63.64 pounds in toll fees and 118.16 pounds on petrol going. So I make that 363.60 pounds there and back.
