After a pleasant few days, during which we saw the snow melt
and I managed to clean Bertie after a filthy trip down on Monday, we’re now off
to Folkestone crossing late this afternoon.
A much nicer day and pretty well
trouble free journey, stopping off at Thurrock for lunch before using the new
Dartford Toll system for the first time. They are still working on the
changeover so it’s not yet up to full speed but still quicker than before.
Booked onto the 1820 train, we decided we’d take the first
available even if it meant a surcharge but we took the offer of 1720 – at no
extra charge – but eventually got the 1705 which helped although it was dark
when we arrived at Calais. First stop to refuel then on to the Wissant aire
where we had arranged to meet one of the group we've formed with a view to
travelling together.
Mission accomplished and a good chat with Colin and Tina, who
we’d met last year, ended an excellent start to our trip.
