Just remember to look regulary in your mirrors, theres some fast stuff out there that will want to overtake you, also if your going towards Rouen from calis watch out for the speed cameras in the tunnels and remember if your heading down the N158 two lane section, if your in the process of overtaking cars they might pull straight out and overtake the other cars in front of you without checking there wing mirrors RIDE SAFE

There are 8 of us going (ZZR, ancient Guzzi, Triumph Speed 4, VFR, Dullsville, Pan, Harley and custom type Kwak).

We're meeting in Maldon on Wednesday evening and going via Eurotunnel to Wimereux for the night then traveling down on Thursday. We usually have a bit of a theme, and this years is avoiding dual carriageways! I think we will be crossing the Seine at Vernons, and then heading down through Nogent Le Rotrou. I don't think we can avoid dual carriageways close to Le Mans, but by then we'll just be keen to get to the campsite!

Last year we went via Spain, this year is a simple one, and then next year the current plan is to go via Irelend!

See you there, but probably not on the way!

Exactly what we're doing but in cars on the 7.50pm train I think and staying at the Hotel Saint John. Will make sure we check our mirrors and keep out of your way!
