Hi All
Travel and weather updates welcome. Also preferred routes. The removal company are sending theirs to show toll avoiding good roads but other ideas welcome.
We are driving rom the UK to Andalucia on the 13th, hoping to reach the border on late 14th.
We can't change the date as there is a lorry with all our worldlies to meet.

Whatever I say I will be accused of being paranoid.

Those in Santander and who got off the board from Portsmouth yesterday were stranded 17 hours and rescued by Police. Is it wise to be cautious or should we be stiff upper lipped and get on with it.

I would come down the Rhone valley (A7) then down the coast. We usually travel via Bordeaux/Bayonne/Zaragoza/Teruel but I think parts of that route are too high to chance at this time of year. I appreciate your worries about the coastal motorway - we have travelled it many times without problems - I think the chances of your having problems again are small.

This just bears out what I said in a previous thread. If you're traveling down through France your best option for avoiding weather issues is to take the ap7. Where you're going, there's no material difference in journey time. Given that weather was your imperative your reluctance to do the obvious was what presaged my comment.
