Beer gets expensive near the coast . Assuming you’re near the coast seeing as you aren’t where you said you’d be this morning 
So where are you tonight ?

I enjoy Doc’s jaunts.
He gets off his butt and gives it a go.

Right back on track or maybe not. I usually book a place and do it so we have maybe 200 miles to the next stop.
So today's long journey.
I'm ready for the piss taking
.
I can probably see it from where we are now.

Well that wasn't fun in high winds and rain. Tears from our lass going over them.

Morning Doc, I know where she's coming from. I went over it from Le Harve towards Caen a few years ago. On the approach it looks like a mega rollercoaster that disappears skywards. Not good if you don't like heights.
Last summer I sailed under it and surprisingly it didn't look as steep from the river.
She was terrified. Detour on the way back.
Huge tide in Cancale . Not a great idea to wonder too far out on the sands …,
Thank you Richard.
Just a tip from recent knowledge of the area to avoid the big bridge. If you meander your way back on your return journey via Rouen (worth a visit), then track alongside the river towards Le Harve it's a really nice road with loads of crossing points on small ferries. It's about 30 miles from Rouen to Le Harve.
I like Doc’s way of travelling, especially when it’s through an area you don’t know too well. Buy breakfast in a bakery, then find somewhere to stop to eat it. Buy and eat lunch the same way. It gives you great flexibility.
Lots of people imagine that France (and anywhere ‘abroad’) is full of cafes to stop at and that every village has one. The truth is, they don’t, anymore than the UK has a cosy pub in every village.
