I didn’t realise how long it takes a tractor to warm up. Farmer Pierre started up at 7am precisely and then let it idle for a good 30 minutes before moving off. Whilst Lucy took her shower I ventured out…
Girondelle to Avelin (97 miles)
We woke up this morning to a wall of fog so had breakfast and made another quick getaway hitting the road by 8.30am. The fog started lifting and soon the sun was making an appearance. We made very good time…
Treves to Girondelle (141 miles)
I find this very difficult to believe but we were off site by 8.30am. It’s always been difficult to get Lucy out of bed in the morning (I’ve grown out of the teenager thing now) but she was getting in…
Trittenheim to Treves (21 miles)
When we arrived yesterday we were so happy with the view that we didn’t bother levelling up and by the time Lucy remembered it was too late to do anything about it. Lucy is normally a stickler for being level,…
Petit Ebersviller to Trittenheim (71 miles)
Luckily the church bells stopped around 10pm and didn’t restart until 8am the next morning. They then proceeded to catch up with all the bells that they had missed overnight but it didn’t matter, we were up and ready. We…
Dun sur Meuse to Petit Eberviller (95 miles)
After writing last nights write up the aires lady came round asking for €7 site fee. This included electric so we took full advantage and charged everything up that we could. We also emptied the waste bin and cleared out…
La Flamengrie to Dun Sur Meuse (95 miles)
Despite Lucy desparately needing the loo she stayed in bed for as long as she could, she didn’t want me wide awake and full of the joys of spring first thing in the morning. I was forced to have a…
Arras to La Flamengrie (93 miles)
I must admit that the aire at Arras isn’t the nicest place in the world to stay the night and some of you would be saying it is just a car park and everyone is parked far too close but…
Embry to Arras (49miles)
I was woken up at 5am this morning by our late night visitor from last night moving on out, think he had a date with an early ferry but I managed to have a lay in until 8am because we…
Calais to Embry (68 miles)
I got up about 7am and went for a wander around to check on the water supply, waste disposal and try and take a couple of photos. It was bitterly cold but the sun was shining and it was looking…
