Do your own catering.....its a nightmare finding anywhere open for Breakfast and Dinner (this was by far the biggest issue we found).
We took two Jeeps over in 2010 and used 1 x coil, 2 x Condensors and had a Crankshaft Flywheel shear off which needed welding back on as we did not have a spare. My Temp gauge also stopped working, so take as many spares as you can manage really.
Dont travel in the UK on a Friday!
I didnt take my Carbine, and nobody asked to see my Export licence (thats not to say they wont next time??)
Make sure your handbrake works for the Ferry, although they do have chocks for the wheels.
Dont try to park anywhere near Arromanche on D-Day....it wont be possible, but take your Jeep on the beach there....excellent fun.
Take a full petrol can! When traveling around the American sector countryside, petrol stations are sparce. We came very close on a few occasions to running out!
We are taking 5 Jeeps over this year and you are quite welcome to join us and/or meet up whilst over there? We are doing Sunday 3rd to Sat 9th June, staying at the Overlord show on Sat 2nd prior to sailing.
One of the best things i have ever done. You will love it!
Have fun.
