BrianR Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Repying to Brian Kirby, who said "Do I detect a conversion here, or just a dose of overdeveloped self interest?" My comment was actually made in response to the following post:- Usinmyknaus - 2007-12-12 1:59 PM Hello Brian, In face to face conversation with the Brits concerned I did explain the difference, armed, no less, with information from your earlier posts and those of the other sages on this forum. They were having none of it though, which is a pity. Bob What I was suggesting was that it was not necessarily a pity if people refused to be converted to the use of aires. I have got no reluctance to share my discoveries with others, as anyone will see who visits the list of aires and campsites on the MHF website.

Brian Kirby Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Then I'm sorry I read too much into your post, Brian. It just seemed to me you were discouraging folk from sharing info on good aires, because that might make them overcrowded when you visited. Clearly not.

enodreven Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi, BrianR I have most of them on a Autoroute file as pushpins, you are welcome to a copy, i think you should be able to convert it into TT or any of the other SatNav system. The problem is I can't upload it to the site so I supose anyone who wants a copy will have to use email BrianR - 2007-12-18 7:46 PM Is there anywhere we can get a list of these "little gems" Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olley Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi Brianr has been a prolific at entering sites into the MHF campsite d/b, 195 at the last count, I went through some of them adding GPS when we added GPS co-ods to all entries recently. Some very nice spots by rivers, up mountains and in villages. Some unfortunately my RV would have difficulty getting to. Sorry if I have made any errors Brianr, but even with Google earth, flash earth and Geoportail I wasn't able to pinpoint the aires 100% of the time Enodreven why not load them into the download section of MHFun? then anybody could download them.

A W Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Here's one I saw today. Morgat is on the Crozon penninsula in dept 29 and is a couple of K from Crozon town. The aire is fairly ordinary being a large hardstanding car park behind some houses.Having said that it could cope easily with American RV's. The overwhelming beauty of this aire is that 200m away is the little village of Morgat which has an enormous beach,prominade and marina.It is well served with cafes and shops.The scenery is glorious even on this miserable winter day. A further 3k away is Cap de la Chevre which is a "wild" headland.Beside the coastguard station is a very large car park which would be great for overnighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minstrel Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We are looking for aires 50 to 100 miles from Calais near the A26, can anyone recommend one, or would we be safe enough wild camping somewhere just off a minor road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnP Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 If you go to the following link http://www.campingcar-infos.com/Francais/recherche.php and go to the bottom of the page "COORDONNEES GPS" there is a link listing 3464 aires verifiees. Open and select all. Then save as a Word document. There are approx 157 pages so it takes a while to copy. Gives Lats/Lons and far more info than the usual POI files. It looks bang up to date and can be stored on your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
