Roadblocks in & around Rouen
« on: May 31, 2017, 03:23:43 pm »
It's that time of year again ... roadblocks at depots in Rouen.

This includes the online map of who's out, and who's low.  Bit too close for comfort, but we've a couple of weeks.

Couple of weeks? I've only got a couple of days ;D

Best I fill up in Portsmouth before we catch the overnight ferry to Caen on Friday me thinks.  Just in case.

Mind you there weren't any problems in the LM area last time so hopefully it'll all be ok.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

The French usually cope, but a full tank should get you there, and then you can worry about getting back, or not as the case may be.

Blimey, that's a possible result (early days, I know!)

Addendum: Can't find any reference to the strike being halted, on the ol' interwebbythingy, as yet.......

Good news about the supply.

Didn't have any problems going through Rouen yesterday. No roadblocks, no gas stations without supplies

There is no talk of a shortage here at Le Mans, although they are thinking of reducing the race to 12 hours if there is a problem :o
