Black Forest via Ardennes, Luxembourg
- Thread starter Bloomers100
- Start date
Minor roads. Some of the group like full value. I’m asking the same question. Coffees lunch and faffage.
Decent dinner few beers
In order not to fall into another protracted day tomorrow we’re heading to Baden fairly directly but off motorway.
A picture above, shows them hanging about in what seems to be Watten. Watten from Calais (where they got off the Chunnel) is only spitting distance. It would be great if the OP could share the GPX fine of his route for day one with us.

04:50 alarm call to get up in Maidstone crack den.
Chunnel deserted (unsurprisingly) on arrival.
An earlier train caught, saving 90 minutes.
Then hours spent, getting to Neufchateau…..
The mind boggles and it’s only day one
Keep us posted

It sounds like you and your party, have been meandering across France all day.
PS Take no notice of the national speed limit on rural French roads. That’s three ‘Should’ve’ you’ve now got. At this rate, it’ll be a long list by the time you get home
On the one hand people encourage us to post about our trips and to put pictures up. On the other hand you’re a sarky fucker.
Anyway off to Baden Baden. We might take all day we might not.

We all know what the Africa twin looks like…. You got to have another five bikes there….. just saying.
Ps. Tell the party less faffery, more progress and scenic pictures, not of your steak (some can’t stomach it), chips or coffee, we all know what those look like.
TA muchly.
Mind the bollards and pill boxes at the side of the roads. Obey “dangerous road segments” but have fun with the rest of the deserted and bathing in the sunshine black serpentine.
Sounds good Bloomers, it ain't a race. It's early days anyrode so you'll find your happiest pace together and you have to look after the "new lad". Even the sarcy fekkers mean well and are enjoying your exploits. Keep it coming.

Sheesh! How fekkin long? )

I much prefer ham and cheese sarnies me
I did add the smiley face and the cheers things. It was you that told us there was faffing about, which (coupled to the route chosen) extended the journey time and resulted in your self-confessed saw arse.
Anyway, enjoy your holiday.
So you're not the sarcastic fecker that you come across as?

I guess this is like a bad golfer, who gets ‘best value’ out of a round of 125 strokes, versus a professional who takes ‘only’ 65?
How did day two go, with a more direct routing?
PS Great that you picked-up on the suggestion of (if possible) travelling over to France in the evening, rather than staying overnight in England. I live only 90 minutes from the Chunnel, but try to do it whenever possible. Likewise returning, I now try to spend my last night in France and head for a mid-morning train the next day, when it is quieter.
