Safely on French Soil

After an eventless crossing of 'Le Manche' we docked bang on schedule and after successfully avoiding the gendarmerie while devoid of the mandatory beam benders we made it to the Ibis.

It took little time to sniff out the meeting place at the John Bull pub in the most unappealing shopping centre since the Manchester Arndale.

Time to relax ahead of tomorrows 440 miles. A nice pint of Hoegarden and Moules Frites to follow. It's a hard life!

Over and out for tonight. Check back on us first thing in the morning where we intend to update here every couple of hours.

Typical - only there an hour and you find the local pub.

Glad all went to schedule (just!) today - I wonder what adventures await you tomorrow.

What's that in your hand Paul? Looks like a girls drink ;) (You've not given up have you?)

Hi Paul, Glad to see you are in good spirits. Been following your progress - the GPS is great. Trouble is I'm getting nothing else done waiting for the next flag to show!!!
