    Today I am traveling under the sea from the UK to France on the euro tunnel. Also know as the channel tunnel or the channel, is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the United Kingdom and France beneath the English Channel and is the tunnel with the longest undersea section in the world.
    The construction of the tunnel started in 1988. It involved boring three tunnels running parallel to each other; the two outer tunnels are used for trains and the smaller central service tunnel is used for ventilation and access. Tunnel boring machines from both the English and French coasts were used and the tunnels meet approximately halfway beneath the English Channel. The Channel Tunnel was completed and officially opened on May 6, 1994 with a ceremony being held at the midpoint of the tunnel.
    About 23.5 miles (37.9 kilometers) of the tunnel run beneath the English Channel. The Channel Tunnel primarily serves as a rail link, allowing high-speed trains to transport passengers and freight and is one of the world's most significant engineering achievements, facilitating seamless and rapid transportation between the UK and mainland Europe.
    In this video, I share my experience of what’s like taking my campervan on the channel tunnel from the UK to France for the first time.

    My father was a mechanical engineer and worked on designing the machines that dug those tunnels. He worked for Goodman Equipment Corporation in Chicago, IL. He told me that the project was so well planned out that when the drilling machines met up in the center there was only a couple inches difference between the height of the UK tunnel vs the French tunnel.
    I'm so glad I found your video, I've wondered most of my life what traveling that tunnel would be like.
    I'm 59 years old now, and it's not likely that I'll ever have the opportunity to take that trip.

    I crossed from England to France in 2000 using the "Chunnel" on a Eurostar train, and as long as I didn't think too hard about where I was, the experience was an enjoyable 20 minutes going over and 40 minutes coming back. It was also the day the British Airways supersonic jet crashed in France which probably has very little to do with my experience on the train, but makes it memorable. Nice train and super fast!!!!

    I made this journey in 1994 and loved it! A little tip: before you leave home, or even when you’re there, make a sign to put on the dashboard saying, Drive On The Right, with a little diagram of a roundabout and arrows to show direction of traffic around it. I found this to be more than useful.

      @@ruthaisling Just about to give similar advice, but use a piece of card 6x4 in. Big black Felttip marker of an arrow pointing to the kerb.After half a day, you no longer see it - but know it is there and drive accordingly. Biggest one to take care on - is exiting car parks and fuel stops on to the road. If you aren't sure about the exit of a roundabout - slow a bit and do a full circuit again. and - Stay calm

      Biggest problem was first thing in the morning in rural France with little or no traffic to follow. "Why is this tractor on the 'wrong' side of the road?" "Oops ... it's me!" I used a big arrow as well. The arrow became a fixture on the continent. By the way, it makes driving in the USA where I now live easy!

    Hi,Ruth!
    日本にも、乗用車を乗せて夜間に走る列車『カートレイン』が、1980年代にありました。それは寝台車を連結し、乗用車内では過ごせなかったと記憶しています。

    I've been through the tunnel in my car but well over 20 years ago now - 1996 if I recall correctly - only 2 years after it opened. Just initially surprised that you hadn't driven on the right before then I remembered you have lived in Japan where they, like us, drive on the left. Really looking forward to the next video as you discover France. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Bon voyage!

    3:57 It's important to put them on even if you don't plan to drive at night. You could be driving through a tunnel or in the rain. Some cars don't these stickers at all - sometimes you can change headlights position in car settings, some will even change automatically, so check your car.

    Your reaction to driving on the opposite side of the road was quite genuine. I am from the USA. On my first trip to Australia I rented a car at the Sydney airport. I knew that the driving was different, but in actuality, I was terrified by driving on the left side of the road as compared to the US right-side driving. By the time I reached the Sydney Hilton, I handed the keys to the concierge and asked him to return the car!!

    What was even more impressive was the entire train being a long open space, you usually don't see that when you're on a train, not even a train that takes vehicles, I remember doing that with my parents a long time ago when I was a kid but it didn't look like that...

      The Euro Tunnel uses fully enclosed trailers for safety reasons. It’s a very long tunnel, so the danger in case of fire is much higher. In shorter tunnels, like 19 km Vereina Tunnel in Switzerland, openair carriages with a steel cage are used which feels less like a long open space.
      Moreover, the carriages shown here are designed for people staying inside their vehicles. Heavy goods vehicles aka large trucks have their own semi-open trailers with steel cages in the Euro Tunnel, but that means their drivers are required to leave their vehicles and travel in a passenger carriage. This ensures that in case of a fire, all people are in enclosed spaces that can be protected from any smoke.

    This has been such an awesome eye opener for me, as I live on an island in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean and transiting tunnels, trains etc is just not a thing we have to worry about. An island paradise...but again I felt some form a excitement, as you did, seeing this for the very first time...now I am sounding like a backward local...I was born in New Zealand and have traveled on and off the island and of course used to staying in the city...But I never knew that one would drive a car onto the train to go through the tunnel, I always thought that one drove themselves there...now all makes sense.
    As I am kind of watching your clips backwards, bit of a hard thing to know that the trip turns south for you.
    Again thank you for the journey...oh and I will need to add that My wife and I experienced a camping van holiday in New Zealand...I would love to plug the company that we hired off but won't here...but happy to provide that to anyone who wants to know. They provided a great service and great camper van. I loved the camper van life and would do it again on a shot..sort of becomes a bug and want more of it. 🙂Thanks once again and am enjoying your journey and learning more as we go along.

    Thanks Ruth. Hope you didn't have any problems getting the roaming sorted and get used to driving on the right. It is easier to forget about it when you are in the countryside with no traffic around. If you have parked and are about to set off it is easy to set off on the wrong side until you have been there a while as there are no vehicles or road signs for reference. Take care and enjoy all of the food and sights. Look forward to seeing more.

    Thank you for sharing your Chunnel experience. I've never been to Europe, have known about the Chunnel since it's inception and completion, and have often wondered how travelers navigate its use. You are an excellent guide for the novice sojourner looking to explore opportunities for adventure! FYI: in the USA, our mail carriers drive right-side steering vehicles to make post deliveries easier. Our family acquired a postal van refitted to sell sno-cones in our community...a wonderful 14-year experience...and we never had a difficulty navigating our roadways. Blessings for more adventures!!

    Always exciting to go into the tunnel! I find myself doing the crossing almost monthly and I love it (I’d be one of those overtaking you haha).
    Some advice - AA and RAC sell European travelling kits - can find them online or at Halfords, it comes with everything - triangle, hi vis, UK sticker, reflectors, etc. Vodafone has bolt ons for European roaming - some plans include it by default, since I travel often enough that’s what I have.
    If you need to stop anywhere once you cross the border into France, head towards Cite Europe. It’s a large shopping centre in Coquelles right next to terminal and has a very large Carrefour for food supplies. You can also get a French SIM card there if you wanted to, and there’s a Carrefour petrol station (which should be cheaper than the one you stopped at right outside the tunnel exit).
    There’s a handful of speed cameras around on the A16 as you get on, waze (but not google maps!) will have them. Be careful of the lowered speed limit for heavier vehicles over 3.5 tons // when it’s raining.
    Looking forward to the rest of the trip!
