Horrendous journey today. Strong winds which made it hard work and very busy. At ferry now waiting to get on and beer o clock

There's times when only a good cup of coffee hits the mark; your covering some good ground fella;

Final ride looks as though in the rain.
And we will be last off the boat with the nice wet steep ramps to ride down.

It could have been worse Doc; you could have been riding back from Dover;

It could have been worse Doc, you could have been riding back from Dover

Nearly home.
Come a cropper on the ferry. Side stand never locked in due to it catching on a wire on the floor. Luckily I was at the side of the bike and caught the screen on a post.

 

[Doc]

And back home. Bit of rain but all good.

I look forward to a detailed breakdown of costs, fuel consumption, sleep patterns including REM times, daily mileage, total mileage, calorie intake, ratio of solids to fluids intake, photos of chicken strips and of course the GPX files/MRA routes please. Thanks in anticipation.

Good trip report Chris.. .thanks. Enjoyed it. Shame about the rain on the return.

Good job you weren't riding back from Dover or it could have been worse...

That's clumsy.

Wouldn't have happened if you got the tunnel and rode up from near Dover.

Can't get better than this.
And actually been to where they produce it a few years ago.
Gone up in price though. €18 Euro a bottle.

similar price to what we were paying for a very nice red Dornfelder on the boat from Bernkastel to Traben Trarbach

Much cheaper at the winery but that's generally the case.
Much better drinking it with company at the festival though.
