Home from St Ybard Sunday 22nd July 2007

Up betimes and breakfasted, there followed a frenzy of tidying up, hoovering, roll making, plum picking, back yard weed killing, bike loading and car packing. Den and Mick left at 8.30, Trevor, Dave and Paul left a little over an hour later. The weather was good. Denbo took the Chartres/Rouen route and Trevor went up through Paris. On the radio we followed the news of the Tour stage of the day from the Pyrenees, of the Formula 1 GP from the Nurburgring and a tragic coach accident near Grenoble. Mick and Den missed the delayed 6 o'clock boat from Dunkirk by 15 seconds but crossed on the 8 o'clock boat together with the other three lads. We had a good meal and a fine crossing with a beautiful sunset. It was a good end to an excellent week.
