Itinerary & Planning

I’ve now decided that I will not stop in Sevenoaks on Friday night before crossing the Channel on Saturday morning. My new plan is to continue straight through the tunnel on Friday night, making Bruges my first overnight stop.

The green sticker which is displayed in my windscreen is an emmisions sticker which shows that my car complies with European emissions regulations. It is valid for the life of the car and means that I can drive in to Germany’s “Umwelt Zones” – many larger German cities have them, as well as an increasing number of smaller ones.

2 weeks from now I'll be in Le Tunnel @LeShuttle to Calais at the start of my German road trip. #Boppard #Mainz #Trier #Aachen — Fred Hart (@FredOnTheRadio) April 29, 2017  

After several test runs – driving to Belgium and to the Netherlands – I really am going long distance now and I hope this will be the start of many years of motoring around Germany, trying to visit as many areas as possible.
