Arriving At Camping Au Bord De L' Aisne

[@bertie6358]

A little shout up for the E Movis Tag, absolutely brilliant, worked every time and the T30 lane means you keep moving through the barrier. Gets you past the often long lines of lorries very often.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not for over 3.5 tonnes unfortunately.

[@danielrussell446]

I would agree for cars it is great and we have one for when we go over to France and the tolls are billed often when you get home

[@Sco1ful]

You took Australian wine to France? They will reintroduce the guillotine if they find out. 😂😂

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I do have a bottle of Intermarche's best in the fridge...

[@andrewmoorey6103]

Its a nice little site, stayed there a few times. Used to be a Muni site. Wortha trip back up to Laon, Moho parking at the top of the old city.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, yes, we'd definitely want to go back there.

[@Sonniesadventures]

Great video Guys! We’re heading here in late June then onto more sites through France, drive safe and happy camping :)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Love that site, enjoy.

[@Sonniesadventures]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo thank you, our next CAMC site we’re heading to after is Camping de la Liez Rue des Voiliers, Peigney, FRANCE, 52200. Have you been? It’s about another 2 ish hours south. Then we’re deciding where to stay next.. any recommendations? :)

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Haven't been there, as for knowing where to go next, you must know we plan everything at least six months in advance. 😂 We went to Luxembourg next from there.

[@Sonniesadventures]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo hehe that’s what we’re doing this year, pre planning properly. Ok so third stop is Nouvelle Floride in a place called Marseillan Plage. I’ve been this year and it’s beautiful and on the beach. Now need to plan the trip back up, Luxembourg looks like a good shout, thank you!

[@clarefrancis9284]

Great video.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

Glad the weather picked up, storm Agnes for us tomorrow.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Weather has been, to quote Sue, lovely.

[@martingilligan]

For all those going on about tags (which Bob can't have) its much better to get one direct from ATMB, cheaper than the Emovis one.

[@joanneskevington7254]

Over the whole trip did you find the weather too hot for Poppy, we have a Poppy who is 13 and are worried about taking her in case it gets too hot. Looks perfect so far

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No, it never got that hot, we took an air conditioning unit with us, but used just once. It's not as hot in September, best time to go.

[@danielrussell446]

Bienvenue a France 🇫🇷 a lovely start to your tour and good to find such a lovely relaxing site and looked a lovely town to explore It always seems to rain when we get off le shuttle as well it’s not bad when you get out of the tunnel and there are some lovely views off the a26! All the best to you all for the tour Daniel

[@gallivantinggalantes]

Hi all of you, nice arrival, the site looked lovely as did the walk by the river. You and Trev had a good cycle around showing a lovely location. Thank you for sharing, take care x Julie and Tony x

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our pleasure!

[@wendlit]

Great video 👏

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

A fabulous start to the tour. Very nice site in a lovely village and we even got to ride our bikes along the canal 😃👍🏻🚐 🚴🏾 Trev

[@lorettaobrien8599]

A great site alright. And the train into Reims is infrequent but great. Fascinating place. We loved it.

[@lorettaobrien8599]

Looks like you were coming in as we were going out..... dreadful rain alright.

[@lorettaobrien8599]

A good site but very English and a bit more expensive than others but their chips are lovely

[@vansforthememories]

What a lovely site & area, thanks for taking us with you. Em 💜

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our pleasure!

[@taxibob]

Three years ago we started our trips to France / Spain and Portugal the first trip was a nightmare with the tolls then on the second trip we got a Tag from the Club and never looked back. Its worked first time very time. Hope you both enjoy your trip and love watching your adventures.

[@lynziekirby8882]

I love watching you at the Channel Tunnel. Brings back memories.

[@lynmoore8355]

Good to see you drinking good old Australian Charonnay there in the back ground..... opps sorry am a bit bias as I am in Adelaide South Australi, the best winery in McLaren Vale only 10 minutes drive away.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Love a drop of Aussie Chardonnay!

[@markbur1503]

Not sure if you have been advised by other subscribers... The Clarity Card needs the PIN unlocking otherwise it will not work on the Peages. Had the same trouble with my exact card a few years ago. Rang Halifax from France and they said there was nothing wrong with it and they haven't put a block on it. If you can get to a cash point and can access pin services you'll see it has 😅an option to unlock the pin. Say yes to this and you'll be sorted. Remember to do it every time you get a new card. It's only the Peage system that will not accept it. It's a good tip for anyone going on the Peages in France. We had to use my wife's debit card which cost us each transaction. At least we know now.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Ah, thanks for that, it would probably be OK now then.

[@pageant1fd]

Brill vlog both thanks for sharing.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Our pleasure!

[@robertmackenzie5850]

Why did you not buy a tag in the UK , all you need to do is wave the tag at the barrier , then it debits your bank account

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not supposed to be for over 3.5tonnes.

[@motorhomemarketplace]

We love watching the Euro trips 👌

[@petajames4292]

Another very enjoyable video ❤

[@jackiecarlin9725]

All looks good same you didn’t film the the pay toil as May help others as seems a nightmare xx

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

A near impossibility to film that with me leaning out of the window and panicking about holding people up!

[@colinmew7139]

What is that knocking on your bike sounds like pedal hitting frame

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Not mine...

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

That looks like a nice campsite.

[@allanjones9533]

Looking forward to following your trip. We used this site as our first stop for 2 nights from the tunnel in July - went to Laon on the train.

[@alanwelsby2436]

have a great trip hate the toll as i always struggle to work them end up having a row with my wife . Funny where every you go in france even the smallest of villages they always have a women hairdressers in the village .sometimes the only shop .

[@colinsavidge9121]

It's a great site, ideal as a first/ last night stop. We have been using it for nearly 20 years. It has as good restaurant and bar. The train to Reims takes 35 mins and is well worth a visit as is the old Reims racing circuit.

[@susanwoods174]

I see u didn't pat jenny bum like Slaw does at the Paeage!!! 🤣

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I wouldn't dream of doing that, certainly not on camera! 😊

[@paulnewman7654]

Really nice site this, we stayed there on our way out to and back from Spain this year and will definitely use it again. The fuel from the local Carrefour was the cheapest we saw in France.

[@anthearichardson1697]

We stayed there several years ago on our first foray into France with our caravan.

[@lorettaobrien8599]

Jenny. If you are into making your own rosehip Vit C. The hips are really really plentiful on the riverbank in Rudesheim about 50 yards from the campsite.

[@neilbedford2756]

Great stuff, sounds like some of those French roads are as bad as ours!

[@thebeechcombersontour9930]

That was our first stopover when we traveled down into Spain last year, it was a nice little site we really enjoyed our couple of nights. Did you get chance to try the pool Bob!! 😂😂😂

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I haven't been swimming since the eighties....

[@michaelodling248]

We stayed on this site for a stopover night as we headed south. It is a lovely village and nice site. From the preview I presume you are off through the war graves. We didn’t stop off anywhere but it was very moving just driving past the masses of crosses. I was moved and the missus says I am a heartless and without a shred of emotion…..she loves me for my looks😮 Great video, keep them coming

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

No war graves, but we did go to a famous battle site in the next video.

[@dafarmer21]

Good video as always. Strange coincidence as we stayed on that same pitch on 7th July overnight stay on way back from Lake Annecy to the tunnel. Nice clean site but the showers were dreadful. Enjoy your next part.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I confess we didn't use the showers there!

[@markhead8193]

great vlog from bob and jenny

[@richardthwaite3750]

We had the same issues with our Clarity card at the Toll Booth. We only used them twice during our 11 week trip so wasn’t much of an issue.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

I keep forgetting to use the Clarity Card, much to Jenny's annoyance!

[@lorettaobrien8599]

Yes Bob we got caught the same way ... but i have to tell you the toll roads are far easier than some of the D roads which are very narrow....

[@lynmoore8355]

doing great guys, How's it feel driving on the other side of the road?>

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It's fine, once we got back to France, it was natural and second nature.

[@tommo9757]

Bonjour! c'est un très bon vlog. Mais cette pluie ! Soyez prudent! Tommo 😉

[@susanwoods174]

Are u with another couple?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

You must have missed the start of our playlist. Yes we are with Trev and Sue, @poshcatscamping

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

The first toll is always so nerve wracking!!! We started putting the card in and then changed to waving the contactless. We only held the traffic up once 😃😃 Toll stress is the worst thing about Europe travel 😃. We looked at all the specific toll cards but it seemed a hastle to pay for them and then some were a bit sporadic. So it was just debit card which seemed to be fine once we worked out where to put it! Safe trip guys.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank, fortunately it should be the only toll on this tour!

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

@@BobEarnshawMoHo 😃👍

[@colinnewmarch1106]

We have an emovis tag, much easier on peages

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Unfortunately we can’t as we are over 3.5 tons.

[@nickgloss5674]

They don't know your over 3.5 tonne , unless your over 3 meters

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

This is what says on the emovis site. "As long as your vehicle is no more than 3 metres in height and less than 3.5 tonnes GVW you can use any non height restricted lane that has the Liber-t  symbol illuminated. A vehicle of this size falls into the Class 2 fee structure. If your vehicle is larger than this then please contact our sister company Eurotoll." So if I lied about the weight of my Motorhome that would be OK?

[@nickgloss5674]

Been using a tag for the last 8 years no problem ! Why don't you ring them ? We have tags for Spain France Portugal and Morocco , it does make it much easier for the wife

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Perhaps next time if we use more tolls.

[@raymonddickson8937]

TAG is deffo the answer have used it on our 2 trips this year what a difference makes journey nice and smooth deffo recommend

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

We can’t get a TAG as we are over 3.5 tons.

[@charliegould5865]

I got a tag for the tolls in France, it makes it so much easier. I got it through a deal with the Caravan and Motorhome club. It doesn’t cost much to have, you only get charged for the months you use it plus the tolls. So when I go to the race at LeMans in June I pay a charge for June and the toll fees. But it means no getting close to the toll machines, no struggling to reach for tickets and payment slots. You just drive reasonably slowly into the tag lane and as you approach the barrier the lights go green and up goes the barrier. The only snag is it can be a shock when you get home and the toll bill arrives later all tallied up with a total. But it costs no more than pay as you go on the toll booths.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Unfortunately we can’t get one as we are over 3.5 tons.

[@Anita-gp1gv]

Blimey that was nearly £40 for your first Toll Road perhaps it would be as cheap to take a Ferry to Spain .

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Blimey I've told you a thousand times to stop exaggerating 😀😆It was £27.

[@caroleagar6790]

At least you didn't have my nightmare the machine wouldn't accept the ticket and i had a whole load of cars behind me getting very impatient beeping their horns. I had to press for assistance but couldn't hear what he was saying in the end he just put the fee on the display to pay. 😂 Nevertheless we had a brilliant holiday like im sure you both will. Looking forward to seeing more of your travels.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

At least we were just holding Trev and Sue up!
