Summary of day 15

Drove to the tunnel. Waited a bit. Got on the train. Went through the tunnel. Drove to Mercedes World. Drove from Mercedes World to the hotel in Cobham.

The journey from our side was atrocious. Most of the m20 motorway had an average speed restriction of 50 mph with both sides of the road having lanes coned off with no signs of work being done.

Looking into it, this has been done to create ‘holding’ lanes for lorries travelling towards the tunnel in case things get busy and they use the other side of the carriageway as contra flow. I think it is a semi permanent thing. Unfortunately getting through customs etc takes a lot longer these days due to you know what. God that was boring, the drive and that paragraph. I’ve changed.

Once at the hotel, we topped the car back up to 100% so we have more than enough to get us back home to Devon.Read more
