Enjoyed it thoroughly.

Think I picked the right itinery as well !!

Thursday 2.00pm ferry from Portsmouth to Ouisterham, getting me to foreign
soils at 9.00pm.

10 minutes away according to Tom Tom; I would find my lodgings for the
night - and it wasn't wrong.

Hotel La Glycine is in the quiet village of Benouville and it was fabulous,
lovely large clean rooms with posh modern fittings, the restaurant was out
of this world.

Friday saw a leisurely breakfast taken around 8.30ish, followed by a trundle
down to take a look around Pegasus Bridge which is on the outskirts of the
village.

Another coffee, then a route via Castres (lunch and hook up with the
Bonwicks who were on the overnight ferry) to the hotel was programmed in to
the Tom Tom - avoiding motorways.

After seeing the route was around 600miles and 8hrs I -hastily modified the
route to take in Chartres instead of Castres.

A truly pleasant bimble through the French countryside to Chartres was
taken, where I found Plattys and Bonwicks who had already eaten. I ordered a
tuna sarnie & a diet coke and sat at our table in the *sun* and wolfed it
down.

A spirited but rather noisy ride in from Chartres to Pithiviers ensued as
Andy took point, backed up by Adie with Platty in 3rd and myself acting as
rear gunner.

We thought the noise was Plattys chain slopping about as it seemed rather
loose, upon closer inspection I noticed that there was actually air where
there should have been metal.

Anyway, yes, Friday night, much fun, much beer, much bullshit - top night.

Saturday, me and pa took a ride out to Orleans through the forests which was
lovely, Orleans was a bit of a craphole from what I saw, but we only stopped
for lunch.

Saturday night - see Friday night above.

Sunday - late breakfast and an A road bimble back to Caen with the Bonwicks,
highlight of the day was evicting a really freaky furry passenger from my
engine bay. I'd never seen anything like it I must admit. It looked like a
furry catapillar, but with a couple of hundred long spider type legs down
either side, and it had a fair turn of speed, there was no fuckin' way I was
touching it.

Very reasonable food was found in Caen in the early evening, Andy & Me
choosing a mountain of cold meat each & Adie devouring a poulet. Puddings
were chosen, & I think I won - a piece of tart tartine that would have kept
me going for a week or so -

Early ferry this morning - home around 3.15pm after disembarking at 2.00pm.

Top weekend - thoroughly enjoyed it - and thanks Mr Murray for pulling the
shit together - well herded that man.

go and talk to the Catholics.

 

Is it me, or has Pip metamorphosised into Ridley Scott?

With much snipping...

Your post as a certain Dodger-esque quality...

 

1. Who has the 1098?
2. I see that Sniper's dress sense hasn't improved.
3. Carmichael-esque photos of people's backs (#19, #20, #23, #36, #40)
4. Who is the old gimmer next to Colin Irvine in #13
5. Has Tony Broom got another person inside his jacket, or is he just
a right fat ****?

 

Fat? Scraggy? Surely you jest.

You are a black hole?

 

I haven't even looked at the pictures, and I knew that would be the
case.

Blaney's so fucking unobservant these days.

 

well, yet further proof that the ukrm demographic is continuing to get
older and uglier.

 

Everyone just needs to be a bit more interesting, ffs.

Some of them were quite pale on Sunday morning. Does that help?
