Currently in Dunkerque fed and watered and all ready for an early rise in the morning to take the train beneath the English Channel - concept is a bit strange, you leave at 0800 , arrive at the other side at 0730 !!!! because of the difference with GMT. Bit like a cross between the Tardis and a submarine. Sort of reminiscent of the days when the Concorde arrived in New York time wise before it left London.
We had a long run today of about 270 miles mainly on dual carriageway and some of it really badly maintained. Three of the group took the longer route by the Peage and paid their thirty four euros for the much faster and quieter road.
Meantime the "Steed of Steel" did well, and having spotted this picture on the wall in the museum I thought it might fin in with Steve Bolton's funny captions
So, another long day in the saddle for us tomorrow, unlike Rennie who had to leave his loaned bike in Metz, take hire car to Paris and has already reached home by flying direct to Edinburgh. Now he has to wait and see what BMW are going to do for him until such time as they have decided how to fix the fault on his new 1200RT.
