Whoop whoop

So far so absolutely frikkin awesome!!! Châteaux everywhere, submarine base this morning. Everything and every one's great

Welcome back folks

Yep well unfortunately all things have to end and have got to say was a great eye opener.

Somewhere so close has got some amazing roads, stunning locations, and generally friendly people with little traffic.

The bed and breakfast ran by Ken and lesley was a absolute pleasure also, as they did a half board and didn't have to worry at all about food. Couldn't have asked for anything more,

Did some day trips out.
Day 1 Josselin and dinan,
Day 2 motor museum and tredion
Day 3 saint naizare and guerande
Day 4 roch fort!-en-terre and chateau de suscinio.
Day 5 utah beach on route back to the ferry.

The weather was brilliant France side, only a light shower when at the ferry port in cherbourg. But can live with that.

So a couple of photos to back up the days,

Leaving Honiton 5am,

Was a real eye opener,the d day landings was such a surreal experience. I couldn't comprehend what was happening and to what extent but was a great tribute to all those who were there fighting.

The m4 sherman


There is alot more photos but could have spent longer over there,
5 days was a nice break but could have spent twice that as was brilliant.
Did the best part of 1250miles,

To anyone who feels like doing one of these trips just go and do it, would be a amazing experience!!!

Looks like you got to see quite a bit while you were over there. Good weather too.

Got too see loads which was brilliant,
Busy week full of fun and game's.

Weather was amazing, so glad mark booked it early enough,

Massive thank you to everyone for making this trip brilliant weather was epic (possibly too hot) as Ian said just book it you don't have to have a touring bike
