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..

Back home after a great adventure of a weekend with the French guys and Chris and Graham.
My S3A ran well amongst 9 H2s, two kettles, Chris H1! Weather a major factor but we enjoyed the terrific countryside. O and Bert on a triumph

BIG THANK YOU TO JP AND ALL THE GUYS THAT MADE IT SO MEMORABLE.

Some lovely Ardennes scenery around Revin.

The brits had an early morning ride around while the French were still eating their brekky..

A viewing point above the town gave some great picture opportunities.

The afternoon rideout started.. and went on, and on, and on, well into Belgium,
Pic 06.JPG
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.
