Thanks to Chad........
....... I think I can post piccies from my phone, let's see
Before I do, just got the following txt from Mikey, all sounds good
"Good to hear from you! Been travelling round looking at solar installs! Every1 well and enjoying experience! Binned me bike yet again

going to fit stabilisers

we r heading to coast tomorrow- should be cooler there- then fly out on monday

have (more!) fun and take care! Look forward to the photies!!"
Right, let's try this piccie thing. I'll do a proper write up when home and all the piccies are back from the printers, yup, used that old fashioned stuff called film

but in the mean time here's a few off my phone to give a feel of the (my) trip.......
First off is mine and Sockpuppets bikes on the M20 service area on our first night. The others were nearer the Eurotunnel further down the road. I made it out the next morning, Sockpuppet didn't and had an appointment with Steptoe and the others missed the train......I waited for them in Calais
