    Going North Part 3

    September 27, 2022 in France ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    On we go again.... about half way up the I diddle diddle of France now, easy driving but a fair time for him at me wheel. I'm runnin nicely though thanks to Uncle Kevs Redex Diesel treatment bottles! They decide to stop at the Aire right in the middle in Eyreux Town for the night, but it s a small one with only 6 places, and 30 mins away 2 of them have gone. It's a race to get there before anyone else?
    Well we mek it and there's just 2 left with one motorhome waiting at the barrier phew!! After a cuppa they nip out to have a walk tound the centre and it ain't bad with a huge cathedral in the centre and a bit of water running through the centre of the town. Nice pricey upmarket shops to window shop, with assistants keeping a wary eye on himself hopin he ay gonna come in and lower the tone.
    Last push tomorrow to get to around Calais for lunchtime.    Read more

    Going North Part 4

    September 28, 2022 in France ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Up and out of Eyreux without problems and it's mainly motorway now after nippin round Rouen. They decide to spend a bob or two on the toll section around Bolougne to speed us up and we end up on the coast 20 mins from Calais on a great Aire by the harbour in Gravelines.
    Tunnel booked for a 9.50 crossing tomorrow they ave a late lunch overlooking the many small boats in the harbour then set off to explore the town, the centre of which has Fort walls surrounded completely by a wide moat. It's a small but tidy little town to wander around. Finally back at the harbour herself gets a sunset she can capture, bless her. Home tomorrow, but I ay looking forward to the crowded motorways in Blighty after the quiet beautifully surfaced roads we have enjoyed everywhere . We need the French to teach us how to make, and maintain a road network, they ave been a joy on me feet I can tell ya.    Read more

    Back Home

    September 29, 2022 in England ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

    Up early and after he checked me all over for clinging migrants we trundle off for the tunnel and an early crossing. Au revoir France, you've been great!
    Nice steady run back home, but bugger me the road surface of our motorways are grim and noisy compared to anywhere in France.
    Anyway thanks for listening to me and a special thanks to all of you who have bin arsed to comment, you know who you are, it does make our drivel worthwhile compiling.    Read more
