Notes on the Journey

This is the last posting on the Journey. I thought I would give some ramblings, thoughts and facts on the journey.

• Total distance driven 1960 miles
• Average mpg was 32.6
• Motorways in general were better than the UK with hardly any construction work
• Never saw a police car throughout the journey
• Did not see an accident
• Saw lots of snow on the ground in the South of France and it was very cold aT Night (-4C) and not above 0C during the day
• Did not rain or snow once on the journey
• Lowest temperature recorded -4C, the highest 10.5C
• Tolls were not excessive and worth the money in time saved
• Petrol was much dearer in France. 30 cents a litre more
• Much more traffic on the motorways in England than France of Spain
• No border guards on France-Spain crossing. Much more security at Folkstone than anywhere else
• Never saw any bakers on the high street in France. All bread now sold in Supermarkets. Never saw a french person eating freshly bought bread in the street as I used to years ago
