Week One - Getting There

Monday 17th June 2019

set off for Eurotunnel just before 9am.  Bright at first then a little cloudy by the time we left but 17˚C so not cold and little wind.  All motorways ran well with no hold ups, even  the M25 flowed unceasingly.

We made two stops.  First for a comfort break at Cobham Services, then, at 12.30 we renewed our acquaintance with the romantically named, Clacket Lane Services.

Deserted cafeteria too but they did have the flags out for us!
















Arriving at Eurotunnel after a 5 hour journey, we were offered an earlier train to the one booked, the 2.50pm which we took. That saw us onto French soil by 4.40 local time.  At Bien Assise, our overnight stop, by 5.15pm.  Tired and hungry, we were delighted to have arrived under a clear blue sky, with a light wind and a temperature of 23˚C.

After connecting to the amenities, we sat in the sun and read.
