France Strikes
May 25, 2016, 07:36:42 pm
Not sure if anyone's planning to come to Font or elsewhere in France this weekend, but beware there is a serious petrol shortage. I don't know if this has been mentioned in the British press.

Long queues for petrol especially Diesel are common and some areas are rationing. It might be better or worse by the weekend, but make sure you have a full tank before you arrive and if possible extra jerry cans.

If you need to check availability of fuel here is an interactive map.

Cheers fried, wasn't aware of that.

At least we won't have to waste fuel driving to climbing areas, forecast is  :shit:

There's been no coffee in the machine at work for 2 days either, the world's gone mad. It's probably all orc-boyz fault.

You picked the wrong week to give up sitting in a gite reading guidebooks and drinking wine.
