We have been going for 5 days now and have cycled about 160 miles; Charlie and Dan, our first crew headed back to the Uk yesterday. They were fantastic to have on board and had the caravan ready and waiting when we arrived back each night. The weather has been hot and sunny and we have developed the habit of a mid cycle beer....rocket fuel !!!! Our route so far has taken us from Calais, down to Licques across to Aire sur la Lys, then to Violaines near La Basse, Marchienne and now a really lovely, friendly village called Semeries. For the last two days, Sal has taken the caravan to the next site and then cycled back to meet me. Its working well but I look forward to Rob arriving so we can cycle together again.
Not too many near misses but one or two. We have both started off on the wrong side of the road, and today I cycled down the slip road to the A2 autoroute thinking the exit I wanted was on the way. I had a very red face on the way back up!!! Im going to try and put some photos up but am on a french computer and everything is upside down and the wrong way round. Internet is def at the next camp in Chimay tomorrow night. Don:t give up on us !!!!
We are good at getting lost but we do know this picture doesn't show us travelling from LONDON TO FALMOUTH, but thats where we are heading next! Waterproofs are ready and we set off on the 9th march 2012.
