only around the d-day stuff, probably only did 500mi but its busy and full of tourists so it took ages to get anywhere, and it was hot.

the roads were still better than today on the ride, every car in britain was trying to get down to the new forest it seemed. sorry to bale out guys hope you had a good ride. ive just woken up! and i still haven't found any bacon, but mrs has promised me a chinese tonight. as long as i pay for it.

Glad you had fun PJ, how did the recce go? Got some good roads planned for our ride-out?

Perhaps a pre-brief would be an idea to give me an idea? :)

But of course, you could PM me the route - since I'll be working on keeping the ride generally together :laugh:

On the way back along the coast with Craig we looked at a couple other places to stop off for photos n drinks etc.

I will have a couple more run outs to see if we can still improve on the route.

hope nobody minds!

Jase,
A mere 250, little Dakar did well, but strong head wind all the way back.

Had to drink some cider to recover :whistle:

Jim,
No probs with a little tweaking, good photos, but dont think we will get everyone in shot on the rideout, unless you go back another few hundred yards and get your feet wet. :laugh: :laugh:
