Don Madge Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 We often use the Quay side at Bolougne harbour, you can sit and watch the Speedferries go in and out. Sad aint I. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 peejay - 2007-05-17 2:16 PM I know because I made this mistake last year. pete Strangely so did I (she refuses to accept any blame for this! 8-) 8-) ) ) last year! :$ :$ After so many times of using it as well, I wonder had something altered that was not obvious (subliminal)!

Guest JudgeMental Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 no mine was a random choice from mapsource page on computer - meant to suggest a few numbers possibly missing not a place so could well be anywhere.:-D so W2G is your spot on map correct - as I will copy it over as a waypoint if it is - if not driving through will be stopping there next Friday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Well that's the position the co-ordinates point at. I'd appreciate some confirmation Judge as we'll be trying to find it at 00:45 in July ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Judge n Way, Your point is actually on the dock exit road I believe and the actual place is the small white/black edged roads just above it on your picture. If you look you can see now why you have to exit at the small roundabout and get on to the yellow road to go round the larger roundabout to get to the other side of the security fence that borders the main road your waypoint is on. You really can't miss it as you exit the dock on that road it is to your left and will no doubt have numerous other vehicles waiting there. The only place you can go wrong is at the roundabout as you exit the main road from the dock where if you stay on that road you will go straight onto the motorway out from the dock. Bas P.s. The actual exits to the area is under the name tag for your waypoint and the E15 marker!!! 8-) 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peejay Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 OK, to REALLY pinpoint the exact location where you turn off the road from the last roundabout I mentioned in my directions into the overnight parking area...... Go to http://boulter.com/gps/ In the 'enter co-ords' box type in the following co-ords exactly as they appear here (cut & paste?)... 50.96773145210129 1.8683624267578125 Then play about with the map/aerial photo to see the location. w2go E coords were 1 digit out (1.869 as opposed to 1.868) pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonB Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Damn - I've missed all the fun with these coordinates! To be spot on, in the middle of the car park, I'll add a couple of digits and make it 50.96748N 1.86914E. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel B Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 We stayed at the port parking area on Saturday night for the first time, not a problem at all - as quiet as most aires and much quieter than the dock side at Boulogne! Would certainly use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 JudgeMental - 2007-05-19 7:56 AM found this site with coordinates for Aires - it has four in Calais http://www.airecampingcar.com[/quote] That's a superb site Eddie. Have you noticed that if you "drill down" to single aire, and click on it, you can then select additional details to add to the map, such as dealers (concessionaires) for various makes of motorhomes, and accessories distributors, as well as the GPS co-ordinates for the aire?
