DAY ONE

Date of update

Day one 29 Aug. 08

Uk, Auldbourgh - France, St Omer

Journey started in Auldbourgh Suffolk, they do nice fish and chip's (fry's) there! Bikes went well realy an uneventful day but the emotions more than made up for that. First night in St Omer about 45 minutes from the train due South East. nice for an F1 but no eatery near by! Starve I will. Todays millage 180 something, must check that, but the bike had 9230 on when I left home.
Oh yes, I got a nice surprise, Barbara put a gift in my bag and a note to boot.......Fantastic!

Retournac - Retournac

Miles to date. 769

We have had a great time today doing not a lot. Just enough to sort the luggage and let the bike fall over, again! Some fields are not level, you put your foot down and there is nothing where you expect to find it so...........over yer go! Why mess with the luggage, well the bike felt not quite right, so I re-arrange the weight loading and outed some stuff to send home or for Denis to bring back, maybe.
Lunch in Le Puy, Evening meal in the garden c/o ALDI with a drop of beer aint life hard?

How fast long does it take to burst a balloon?

This morning after a long and thoughtful night I have decided to go home, some will ask why, some won't care, many will just make asumption's, my reasons are just that........mine, sorry.
