peterjl Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi We left home this afternoon for a 6 week trip with friends with first overnight in Belgium. Unfortuneatly 5 miles from home ABS/ESR/Hillstart warning lights came up accompanied with lots of dinging! Found a local fiat professional nearby servicing big commercial vehicles. Diagnosed failed ABS pump,,,, ouch! Said very unusual but that doesn't help. They located one in UK and can obtain by lunch time and fit in the afternoon. Soooooo the plan is we get an evening Ferry to get us to Calais late, probably 11pm French time. I am looking for somewhere to overnight. Our route the next day will take us past Brussels (joy) so looking in that direction. In the past we used to use Gravelines airs but not sure its still there as not on Caming Car infos plus I wonder about the security they days. Any recommendation for somewhere to overnight where i can rock up late and leave early to catch up with friends? Many thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve928 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The aire next to the rowing course in Gravelines should fit the bill. We often start and finish holidays there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve928 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 N 50.97082, E 2.13064 (or N 50°58'15", E 2°07'50" if you prefer) Alongside the river just south of the D601 that runs around the south of Gravelines. Near the swing bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevandali Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Ideal for rocking up late and leaving early, it's 7 Euros for 24 hours but no barriers just a parking meter. Saw loads of vans doing exactly that, arrived late and were gone before we got out of bed, never used the meter. Enjoy your hols. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterjl Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Thank you Steve Stayed at the aire near the rowing course, it was excellent. Quiet, dark, and virtually empty. We will use that again. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
