Greetings from Boulogne, Apologies for dodgy spelling but the keyboard characters don.t respond to the actual.

Good ride down from Dover. Through the lanes did 90 miles with fully loaded panniers in just over 5 hours 17.1mph and only rained from Hythe = last 20 miles.

Rode with the 40 plus yesterday so only slow but did 65 miles to the hostel with a good deal of sunshine qnd considerate motorists.

Bit overcast at the moment but due to clear up.

Off to breakfast to eat a much as you can
