How is the boot device, have you still got your luggage?..... I did think of an alternative, you could even fit the kitchen sink in it

 

[AlienZed]

Superb Rick. :lol: Does the trailer set up have Ohlins too?

Stuart, the 'Trip-Skip' comes naturally in Atacama Yellow... so, no repaint cost and you can also use it for advertising which will compensate for any potential modifications!

Got woken up at 5am this morning as the ferry arrived in Roscoff

Ferry was busy but very quick and easy to get off and out of the port .. French passport control was no hassle at all

Weather a bit crap but took a lovely road out of Roscoff the D769 after filling the car for €1.45 litre (£1.25) then passed another station selling it for €1.37 (£1.18)

Now found a McD’s ( not an Andy but a Ronald ) and having some brekkie somewhere north west of Rennes

Weather picking up nicely though

No convoy photos?

Nice one Andy,
Looks like you reserved me a parking spot in front of you

Got as far as the Loire … weather improved and currently 29*

Lovely drive down on the back roads avoiding the man in roads and motorways

Some real stunning little villages

Just stopped for some lunch alongside the river

Low French speed limits and gorgeous scenery to look at means 37mpg .. not a normal zed run

I’m about half an hour from our overnight stop and meeting the rest of the guys

 

[earthdweller]

Found a great spot for lunch beside the Loire .. 32* in the shade when I got back outside

Now at the hotel waiting for the others to arrive

 

[earthdweller]

Now, here’s one to make you weep !

£1.18 a litre for petrol

 

[N4LLY]
