No. Just the worming tablet to come back into the UK.EssexHebridean said:ahh - it's for the permit to travel back into the UK is it - thank goodness, I thought he'd managed to get himself into some mischief or something!
It turned out to be a very simple process. The vet and receptionist were lovely and Syd didn't even know he had been too a vets. He was spoiled with a tablet hidden in nice French cheese 🤣🤣🤣1 -

We had a longer day's driving yesterday and a last food and fuel stop. So it wasn't helpful when the three aires at our supposed destination were all full.Found another half an hour down the road on a nature reserve at La Molliere, which didn't seem great value at €10 when compared to some others we had stayed on. Still it was somewhere quiet and safe to spend the night.

Just finished reading your updates, looks like you’ve had a brilliant time in France, pleased for you. IIRC first trip to the continent in the van too?France is such a beautiful country, somewhere I would certainly like to explore more of one day.0

It certainly won't be our last. It is such easy motorhoming. Far simpler than the UK and much much cheaper.

Our last night in France tonight and a free aire by the seaside at Wissant to finish off with.
Only a short 15 minute drive to Calais in the morning to catch our train.
