first fill up...it wasn't that simple...I actually ran out of petrol as I approached the St Albans exit...luckily enough there was a Sainsbury's on the first island...how lucky was that!!!

normally I manage to get to South Mimms on a full tank...maybe it's all the extra luggage I have!!!

even with the 20+ minutes it took me to sort the unexpected delay out we were at Dover ferry port with plenty of time to spare...

only just missed the 08:00 ferry...that early...

always nice to get the cliffs in a shot...

ah...there's Di...first overseas rally on the back of me...actually...only her second rally on a scooter...the other being Belfast...

had the Nikon D3100 a few years now but this is the first time I tried it on the timer...not bad...

no...not a selfie...

a Belgian guy who lives in England offered his assistance...

yes...this guy...he was on his way back to Belgium to visit his daughter...
