I've booked a rowing boat... or a landing craft..

you're old school Wolfie : rowing boat

[Wolfie]

If we had come today it probably would have been the landing craft..

There have been some incredible stories on the TV all week, I must remember to visit that area someday.


Just sent you a link to the tracker on my phone, Sam..

Stopped at a viewing point near Bouillon, from here we could see some torrential rain approaching it just reached us as we set off.

So we took shelter in a Hotel verandah.

When the rain had passed and things were starting to dry, Chris noticed a missing circlip on the gear linkage, not a breakdown but a tiny job needing a major operation to secure and refit it.

On Sunday we waved the French off on their Sunday rideout, we had boats and trains to catch so missed this sunny rideout.

I can do with pictures if no one of the british team can.

Just a short sum up here
The start from Paris on friday was for me terrific with big traffic jam stormy rainy and windy weather stopped after 110 kilometers arrived at 9 Pm abd the british team + Alloallo and Patricia and Joseph waiting me for dinner.
Saturday in Belgium with sun then rain then sun and so n.Sunday sun in Belgium and return to Paris still under sun.

[Wolfie]

I heard Chris say he would love to do a write up... He had a few beers by that time though..

[Chris Todd]
