Driving back to the uk - Page 2

How will you manage if no hotels, restaurants or even public loos are open? We thought about doing this route, but it seems onerous.

Yes, we always the route Vijack suggested, no problems.

Are the June sailings definitely cancelled, or a suggestion/rumour from Portsmouth, firm info greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thanks for the replies but what I really wanted to know is anybody else in a similar position but has received an e-mail from Brittany ferries, and/or can log in under their booking reference?

This all depends when you plan to go back to UK. On the basis that Spaniards can't travel between Provinces I think its unlikely you will get far. the way I understand it Phase 4 of the lockdown will allow much more freedom of movement. Ferries will only operate when they have a port(s they can go to. ferry companies are not in control of this. My advice would be to stay in touch with the Spanish news - El Pais is good, and also Spainenglish. Getting out of Spain should be your priority. 

Travel in France by then will be very much the same - businesses , hotels will be open. And probably by then you won't have to go into quarantine when you get back to UK.

Hope all goes well!

To follow up 

I think I may have replied to the wrong person!

However, to all, I think trying to get back to UK , by car. anytime before the end of June will be pretty futile. 

Sorry to be so pessimistic!

Hi the FCO is the uk governments foreign and commonwealth office which supplies advice and information to uk citizens travelling abroad. Attestations are the declarations you require for each person for each day that you are travelling through France along with proof of onward travel such as ferry or tunnel ticket. Attestations are available to print or download from the French government site just google it. X

The covid information on tje Brittany ferries website ecplains all.

We are driving from mojacar to girona, overnight in a government approved hotel from the governments list. Crossing in to France and travelling to Calais hotels in France have never been required to close so there are still some open. Attestations downloaded from the french government allow travel through france for onward travel to the uk via the channel tunnel or eurostar.Travel through spain is permitted for foreign nationals returning home. We will not be sightseeing!! The lockdown in spain and france is easing today Aires in France have always remained open for hauliers and other road users. We have not made this decision without advice and careful planning as some people seem to think!!!!
