Platinum Member Volant165 Posted May 24, 2023 Author Platinum Member Share Posted May 24, 2023 Dear all, How exciting the Marquenterre adventure is now just around the corner. Here are some top tips for the trip! Logistics: The majority of garages are closed on Sunday in France therefore it is advised everyone fills their tank on Saturday. Schedule: Meet at 8:30am sharp at Camping Tremieres on Sunday 4th June for a convoy departure to 4 x 4 site at 9:00am. If you choose to go independently & directly to the site you must arrive at the Marquenterre office no later than 9:15am as gates close behind us a 9:30am sharp! Equipment: If you are winch equipped tree straps are essential. The parc is understandably focused on the protection of their trees. CB radio is an asset in the forest (but not essential as we will work a buddy system). We will use channel 30. I will also bring a set of radios. Tires will need to be deflated to approximately 1 bar (14.5psi) when you arrive at the parc or just before. Please use a gauge to do this & don't guess. You risk tires coming off one side of the rim if you go to low. Compressors are available at the office to re inflate at the end of the day. Off roading: Buddy system will be employed - please don't loose sight of the vehicle behind you especially at junctions. A French guide will be on a 4 wheel drive Quad & will decide the route we take through the parc. Please follow the routes & instructions of the guide at all times. Do NOT drive off piste! You will NOT be able to roam on your own because the parc is vast & you will get lost if you deviate from the course. If you no longer see the group please stop and wait for the guide to come back and find you! Do NOT attempt a climb or descent until you are certain it's clear. If in doubt wait. Feel free to have 3 attempts at each climbs. If you fail on the 3rd attempt please take the alternative route to ensure the group keeps moving & we are able to cover as much ground as possible making the most of the day. If it's sunny & the sand is dry the course will be trickier to drive & you'll need to maintain momentum. Therefore don't queue & stop right behind other vehicles uphill. Try to stop in the queue downhill & to give more momentum when you restart. There are water obstacles on site. Please ask if you're unsure or need help to navigate. If you get into difficulties the driver should remain with the vehicle stopped (in case of fuel leaks) & the foot on the brake. Get passengers safely out of the way & wait for recovery. Please respect the sites natural character & make efforts to preserve it. Day time facilities: A light breakfast of a croissant, coffee & orange juice will be served on arrival at Parque Marquenterre. Please bring your own food, drinks & snacks for the remainder of the day. There is a sheltered picnic spot with tables & chairs in the forest where we will stop for an hours picnic around 1pm. Camping: Spots have been reserved at Espace Vert des Tremieres Costs approximately £20 per night per vehicle Payable during the trip. Documentation: Please remember to submit your: 1. Driving licence 2. V5 front page 3. Car insurance documentation 4. MOT certificate (if appropriate) to info@domainedumarquenterre.com 7 days prior to the event! Any questions please let me know & I'll do my best to clarify! Let the fun begin! Can't wait to see you all! Lou (Mrs V) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light deflectors for our headlights? Fire extinguisher etc Can you let me know what are definites that we need and I'll make sure I have them thankyou Yes you definitely need a UK sticker on the car. Also you require: - warning triangles - reflective jackets for yourself and all if your passengers for if you break down. Jim & I used to carry a first aid kit in the car with us also that included alcohol breathalysers. Although I believe the penalty for not having this has been dropped I think they are still officially designated as mandatory equipment. Previously we also carried copies of motor insurance certificate, driving licences and the cars log book or V5 also. You will need to turn off speed camera detectors on your sat nav. Systems like Waze automatically adapt for this and you will see instead of saying speed camera it says police ahead. Headlight deflectors I thought were listed as 'handy' but not essential but if anyone knows more on this please let us know. If you can adjust your headlights manually I believe they are not required. Again spare bulks are recommended but not mandatory. If you are visiting a major city after the trip you may need a clean air sticker 'Crit Air vignette' displayed. These if needed can be purchased from the French government websites. Please be aware you can't take any meat, milk or diary products into France and most fruit, veg and salad are restricted also. Hope that helps!
