berti Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 we are crossing on sat morning and just wondering what the situation is re the trouble with the immigrants.. cheers berti
coach2000 Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 I travelled out on the Tunnel on wednesday out towards Paris and all was quiet. As far as I am aware tthere is nothing any different at the moment apart from a few illegals wandering around. I did not see any at all. Clive.
maggyd Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 We saw no problems when we came back beginning of Oct; and we didn't notice any illegals when we stayed overnight at the front Aire in Calais it was very quiet.
Keith T Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 We stayed on the Aire at Calaisovernight on 21st September, and were amazed to hear on the radio next morning as we left Dover about the 'problems' and arrests etc which had taken place the evening we wer there....we saw or heard nothing - no immigrants, no police, even though we drove up and arrived at about 10PM. The aire was the quietest we have seen it, probably indicating a lack of motorhomers coming to the UK, although it was very busy driving around france with lots of french and german motorhomers. Have paqssed through/stayed at calais severaltimes in the last couple of years and never seen or found any problems.
maggyd Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Keith I think that the roundup must of happened on that morning, as that was the day our Son rang and asked where we were, he had seen it on the news and was worried we had been caught up in it, but we were well away from the area at the time.
Mr. Grumpy Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hi Berti, Glad to see you're back, I assume you came over on Saturday OK. We sailed 10:20pm Friday, no problems but did notice the police with dogs giving all the lorries a good going over. Hope you had a good hol, we had 6 weeks with only 4 damp days but it has been wet all the way from Dover to Cumbria. Here's looking forward to March!
Patricia Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 maggyd - 2009-10-25 3:49 PM Keith I think that the roundup must of happened on that morning, as that was the day our Son rang and asked where we were, he had seen it on the news and was worried we had been caught up in it, but we were well away from the area at the time. I crossed to Calais on that particular morning too. I was sat in the restuarant when both my daughters phoned and were worried that I would land in the middle of it. However, I saw nothing at all and was very surprised to see the English news later in the day. Crossing back next Saturday evening (31st) so I hope the same applies. Must admot to being a bit nervous on the way out travelling alone. I too have had superb weather until last week when it suddenly went very cold with snow on the mountains so I winderised the m/home. Horrid day yesterday but lovely again today and apparently the forecast is really good for the week.
berti Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 thanks everyone we cross 8 am sat 31st.. just wanted to avoid another disaster at calais ! cheers berti
wild rover Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 Hmm, this all seems a bit strange, doesn't it. Is someone making it all up?
