Calais and beyond

15th July 2007

Who said we couldn't make it past Calais?! For the record we had over an hour to spare for the ferry (Tilly was much admired as we waited in regimented lines!) No problems with re-starting the engine as feared and an uneventful short hop to our first campsite destination 'La Bien Assise', Guines, Picardy. Crisp's worries about the onset of middle age, broken fan belts and a lack of food were all dissipated with a cycle ride and chance discovery of a friendly restaurant tucked away amongst idyllic crumbling farm buildings. Then back 'home' and the first of no doubt many debates as to how best to organise the innards of the camper to guarantee a degree of comfort.
