Exciting times.
We left Longwick yesterday lunchtime to take Marge to France.
Met a couple in the ferry queue with a van like ours..but newer..we think Marge is suited as being a bit retro!
All safely installed on the ferry, time for an overpriced meal onboard. Crossing a little rough approaching Dieppe, so to calm the other passengers John starting humming the theme tune from Titanic!
We arrived late at our first free overnight stop at St Nicolas d' Aliermont, a stressful journey as Marge's headlights are more like candles. But in the light of day we realised we'd found a good spot.
Took a walk round the town before we left, taking a look inside the church, which has become one of our pastimes when in France, not sure why!
Set of late morning on our 150 mile trip towards the west, hoping to find the sun, as it's been dreary since we arrived in France.
After stopping for a salad for lunch (something we do every lunchtime while we're away, to avoid eating too much lovely French bread) we continued to the town of Gace, which had a very nice chateau housing none other than the town hall.
We are now at St. Leonard des Bois, where we are staying by the river for the night.
As you can see the Tour de France came through the village earlier this year.
Heading towards Nante tomorrow, and will stay at a campsite in Monbert run by Odille and Philippe, a couple whose site we stumbled upon when cycling a few years ago, and who we now stay with every year.
