The Most Stupid Way to Cross the English Channel or La Manche

I was trying to find directions and distance from a street in Folkestone to Eurotunnel when I realized that I have to cross the channel halfway to catch it.

Based on Google Maps, it takes 50mins to get from a street to Folkestone to Eurotunnel based on the same city. First, you will need to drive to Dover (to get Eurotunnel in Folkestone?!!), then get the ferry from Eastern Docks. Once halfway through the tunnel, get off at a place called “Boulougne-sur-Mer” which means Boulougne on sea, which is not on the sea, but around 22miles south from Calais.

If one survives the strip, I reckon it will take all day to do it!

The moral of this story is; don’t always trust Google Maps or your GPS navigation device, no matter how good manufactures claims they are. Go back to good old maps from time to time.

How to Reproduce:

Destination: Eurotunnel, Folkestone, UK
