    Another nice video wrapping up what has been a fantastic xmas tour, we've been stopped at Newhaven before for a thorough search and even had to disclose how much money we had on us at the time but its easier to just jump through the hoops and pass on, in any of the countries was you ever asked to muzzle the dogs at anytime, ie on public transport/ ferries for example.

      If you love Christmas things and if you haven't done it yet, you should do the Romantic Route in Germany. They have a great Christmas shop open all year round in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and the Aire which is 12 euros a night is just outside the town, It also has electric hook up if you need it. We did the route right down to Fussen and saw the Disney Castle.

    If the Border Force wish to try and establish if you are involved in people smuggling it is for them to prove. Like you we are frequent back and forth over the water. We have been stopped the last three entries back into the UK and asked about our itinerary of journey. We make sure we are never breaking import rules in case. They have never gone as far as to ask us to account for our funding or ask for proof of photos as to our journey. At that stage of any interaction I would be thinking that perhaps they are placing you into suspect category and although you have been shown to have nothing to hide you can expect to be stopped again probably upon your next return.
    I am of the belief that the UK authorities working with the French are looking at motorhomes at this time of year. It is not a time when you get motorhomers running about in Northern Europe, along with a stop out and back at Gravlines put you in the frame as a possible people carrier. Gravlines has a number of foreign person wanting to get to the UK and I would think that there is some form of ANPR system picking up UK plates

    Did they inspect your phones? This could make interesting reading, relates to electronic devices, from Hansard, December 2023:
    If a passenger refuses to unlock their device at the request of Border Force, there is nothing that Border Force can do-nothing at all. The passenger is not committing a criminal offence, because we do not have a criminal offence of obstruction for this circumstance. Border Force must then let the passenger suspected of possessing prohibited goods pass into our country and there are no grounds to arrest them.
    Overreaching authority is the term I believe.
