AHA! The 'young' Mr Mallett has it sorted 3.91 to give 4 Mtrs clearance? sounds ok. Although if you are right on the limit Mike you will need to check as you go through. I have heard of guys 'pinching an inch' by letting their tyres down?

After the tunnel collapse and repair in 2010 I remember Eddy V posting that Michelin had got their truck stuck trying to get through, and had to let tyres down to get it out! Am sure since then when I have queued up for 6hr meeting entry, that trucks have gone through. There is a little that can be done, as rear tractor suspension and trailer suspension can be lowered a small amount, but would be good to know exactly what the clearance is!

Peter- Young? Think you must have confused him with someone else.....

Thanks Robert. I see France and UK are are as decisive on height as they are on other things- "Not defined"!

So if trucks are built to the limit of 4.0 metres height how do they get through a tunnel of 4 metres! Especially if there is a ramp down and up again........

One Spa map shows tunnel height at 6m, another 4m.
