Finally off and sat on the ferry waiting for it to get underway from Newhaven. Rode up yesterday to visit a friend in Pulborough, no photos of his lovely Aston Vanquish, 6 litre v12! Or his ‘daily driver’ F Type, he’s done well and great to try out the toys without the costs. 34 degrees there, up to 36 travelling, but I think the Himmie over estimates.

Then on to daughter and son in law in Newhaven, very handy, Chinese, watched England playing Ghana and a humid night with little sleep, up at 4am

Already ‘lost and found’ my wallet, phone and glasses… disorganised and tired.

On my way to meet friends in Genk, from all over Europe and some Americans, we’ve been meeting for the last 30 years. Nice hotel in Genk, thought I was going to be camping on the way there and back. Change of plans due to the heat, stopping in St Quentin tonight the only air conditioned hotel I could find, still have all my camping stuff, has made me realise how much easier it is to just hotel or B&B it without all the camping clobber.

I'm with you all the way on camping. I did it for years when money was tight, but soon realised that sharing a room in a cheap hotel was not much more expensive and WAY more convenient.
 
should've left the camping apparatus with the Newhaven sprog ... then forget to collect it on the way back as you won't need it again.
 
Is he there yet? Has the mighty Himalayan melted, in the record breaking heat? Did the hotelier prove unbiker friendly?
