Henryford 8267 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I think the motorway takes you out of the way. I always use the 36 then pick up the 3. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ 19659 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Now we know what Google says Don't use that toll motorway which is a short part of the nearly 300 km. 5 hours sounds realistic (maybe less). Of course depending on the ferry times (assuming you want to take your car to the island). And be aware of the excessive five day long weekend July 13 to 17. Expect hell of traffic and overrun island. Edited July 7 by KhunBENQ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped using the 36 as roadworks were ongoing but I've heard now finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
