Quick, where can I go within 4hrs of Calais for the weekend?

[308mate]

In a van, camping, 20+ deg looks possible, sat and sun night.

I don't want to do anything, just get away, alone.

Newcastle is almost doable too with a tail wind and a quiet A1

May switch to motorbike. Via Chunnel, Van = 234 quid return, bike = 94! Mind you bike requires b&b, van doesn't so probably works out even.

These are good suggestions thank you, could push the distance out a bit for the right place.

Armentiers

Not 4 hours but I once drove to Modena and back in a weekend.

Honfleur?

The Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy (about 4 hrs from Calais) - site of some of the D Day landings - wonderful beaches, plenty of bracing air and some history.

You could visit my birthplace in Folkestone... How are you Pete?

Equihen Plage? Not far from Calais, take the bike, and you could stay in one of these...

Honfleur is pretty but touristy. We generally go to the beach at Cabourg. Or you could go inland - Bayeux, Falaise, Suisse Normande. The last of these is a very beautiful region, with lots of outdoorsy things to do.

Bruges?....I was there myself at the weekend, very nice
