One more sleep!

Grizzly rocked up about 12:30 today, waterproofs on. Looking at the forecast it seems that's what we're going to be wearing for the next 2 days. As I said before, we rarely start a tour in the dry. Hey ho.

We popped out this evening for our traditional pre-tour dinner and a couple of beers, the first of many this tour I'm sure.

We're booked on the 8:20 train from Folkestone,  so the plan is to leave Chatham at about 6:15. We'll make our usual fuel stop at Ashford Tesco en route and that will take us well into France, well as far as the Shadslow's tank will take us. Overnight stop is Reims, with a few stops on the way. More of those tomorrow. Now it's time for bed.
