Right here is the brief

Me and my brother have young sons of 6 & 9 yrs old. My brother is into motorbikes so he is going to be riding his Ktm r8 whilst I drive the kids. Channel tunnel is booked and return is 1 wk later.

We plan to have camping gear with us and some money. oh and the kids bikes.

Other than that, well I am open to suggestions.

I have DVD players for the car and we are all footy mad so a ball will be with us. I also have a 64 g iPad which I could load up with stuff?

So if anyone has any tips on travelling 2 hrs per day with kids in the car. Suggestions should consider we are turning left and heading towards Belgium and holland 1 st then looping round. Any equipment or entertainment tips appreciated

Thanks for any replies

Perhaps book sites with decent pools. Two hours in the car is not so much.
Get them some puzzle books, crayons, top trumps
Our kids generally hate sightseeing. Boat rides, waterparks all acceptable.
