Default Help with Euro Tunnel

Hello all, just thinking about getting the euro tunnel to france for a couple of days and was wondering if any of you have used it and also if anyone knows roughly how far it is from Swindon?
Any help much appreciated.

You just drive with your car into the train.
It's low enough so that low cars don't have ANY problems what so ever.
Always demand to stay at the bottom, do NOT drive upstairs as coming down is a b*tch then.

Travelling is about 35minutes one end to the other while you just stay in your car or next to it. You can walk around but that's not the intention.

I do have some pics here for a friend. I'll try to find them and put them up for you.

yep, always been very good when i've been - just turn up and get on the next available train generally, irrespective of what time your ticket is booked for.

driving in france is cool - avoid the towns and you'll see hardly anyone
