Thinking this summer of going to Poland with our caravan, possibly to Krakov, and would like any input from members as wether it is worth going due to possible concerns with things like polish roads, drivers, security etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rob

I know our next door neighbours went there because their son went to see locomotives and even had a go driving one.  She never mentioned any problems that they had.  They were in a motorhome.

You might be better posting this on the Caravanning and Camping Abroad forum.  Here are some previous responses to postings on that forum about Poland - hope these are helpful.

Hi Rob

I drove there a few years ago on a driving competition.

Their major roads are good, but once off them you take your chances. We were in a fully fitted out Discovery and came across potholes (craters) and all manner of surfaces that you would be hard pressed to call roads.

The fuel stations are the same as ours, we got maps from the major suppliers, Texaco, Shell, BP, Q8 etc and had no problems. We ate at quite a few of their services.

The drivers in the main cities are nutters, also watch out for trams in Warsaw, they don't stop for anything.

The Polish are friendly enough, prices are generally lower than here, but unless you are in the Metropolis don''t expect shops like ours.

We were warned that the Polish Police are very heavy handed with unlucky motorists, but fortunately never had to test the theory.

If you fancy an adventure, and a long, long drive, go for it.
