Our first trip in a while today for a week and first proper trip on the RT down to Dinant from Rotterdam and then to Givet. Plenty of time to explore the area have a few beers and plenty of eating out,
Jayne has been a bit nervous on the bike since injuring her back whilst out on the Harley so it will be steady away.
Today we plan on riding to Hornsea and the ride down the coast to Spurn point and then follow the Humber up to the ferry.
That is if it stops pissing it down.

Cheers Doc

It's also the home of Leffe beer - with a museum and stuff. Park your bike on the riverfront by the bridge and there is a whole row of restaurants with tables outside which makes a really nice lunch stop.

Well we are at the ferry and no moaning yet.
Plenty of time for that.
Checked in at three and straight up ready for boarding at 4pm. Usual stop at customs for a check.
