Glad you had a great time , I would like to go again some time maybe next year and hopefully in the dry . My Great grandfather Sam certainly was a character , he walked from London to Bristol when he was 14 sleeping rough along the way , but was sent back as he was to young , he walked from London to Bristol again when he was 18 but couldn't find work so he enlisted .

A miracle he returned in one piece, my Father had a book of photographs from the First World War, you would hope this would put people off all wars for ever after, it was dreadful, absolute slaughter and dreadful conditions most of the time.
My day in France was very relaxing after a very [color=rgb(0, 0, 255)]stressful[/color] week, I could just feel the stress falling away!
The trains were sorted, just put us on first train available, very quick and easy, only obstacle was the Tour de France and closed roads, so a few U turns were required!
We missed the rain, a group of bikers from further South were on the train home and had ridden 100 miles in torrential rain.
Was nearly a Foccer ride too, only had one interloper a H*nda with three Fazer 8's :lol
