Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@snowlamb, Best I can suggest is stopping at the largest Peage barriers after you've gone through and go into the office... The next large one is Chambery, I think there are offices over in the car park on the right hand side as you exit the barriers.

Well that would be grand but we’re still queuing at Chambery. Beginning to remember why we always used to try and get past Chambery on the Friday before a big holiday traffic weekend.

snowlamb, according to chocksaway in the Tignes thread, your queue is due to Yellow Jackets. And then its ice all the way up to Espace Killy from Bourg, so probably same for Les Arcs Sad

@snowlamb, Just checked for you, the nearest APRR office on the way back is at Ville France (North of Lyon) although its not clear I think its at the Gare de Peage de Limas as usual their website detail is a bit vague!

That’s useful @boredsurfin, will try and sort it out on the way home next week.

@Jonpim, that doesn’t sound quite so nice. Looks like it might be a long slog up the hill

Now at tunnel, Calais!

Road seemed busy with the hordes heading south even at 08.30.

We played count the top boxes per hundred cars three times. Worked out at 15%

Nice and empty and easy driving up especially after last night. Now just have the road works on the other side to deal with!

Passport control here so busy and slow might be due to vast % of cars not Brits.

Some poor woman in pet control with a cat had the rabies jab, the cat that is but without a microchip record and she can't travel, distraught or what!

Also think Grenoble Vizzille will ne a nightmare. Better going though centrsl Grenoble and then through Uriage and then back road to Peage Vizzille. I used to do when I waz limited to travelling saturdays in high season

M25 clear up to Mount Hemel - that's all we've got booked so far this season. On the bright side the through load capacity in the shiny new car works well!

@snowlamb, the road up to les arcs was clear last night. We sailed up it (There was a lot of water flowing down) on ordinary all season tyres. No problems. In fact it was the easoedy part of the whole journey. It has rained here today and the roads still look clear.
Where are you staying btw?

@Hells Bells, did you take the long back road out of Vizille where you end up at the traffic lights 2km past Vizille that cause all the problems?

Arrived back in Costa Geriatrica at 16:00 even put on an earlier train

Hope your journey down to Chatal (?) goes ok.

Drive down was a very slow one. Vehicle restricted to 58 MPH and we were told to avoid French toll roads so longer route taken. Third driver not much use. He did 1 x 2 hour spell then said he had a bad head. No real delays on the roads and conditions were good pretty much the whole way. Finally arrived in Montana at 2.45 am Friday after leaving Greenwich at 8am Thursday.

Reasonable drive down from Calais to Troyes today. Bit of fog, a little more traffic than usual but no yellow jackets. Will have to see what tomorrow brings.
