I've woken this morning to very blury vision in my right eye, so i won't make the start line today. It's unlikely I will make any of the trip but will get to hospital as early as poss next week and see what the consultant has to say. I can't tell you how dissapointed I am, but my sight is too important to risk. I hope you have the most fantastic trip and will be reading your posts wishing I was with you. Have fun and be safe. Sorry to hear this news get well and if you can join us later then please do but your health comes first , there’s always another holiday 2 Quote

Gary Taylor Posted May 26, 2019 Author Posted May 26, 2019 Day 3 evening after some supper we nipped along to Dungeoness windy and misty and very atmospheric so did some black and white film photos of the old fishing boats and dozers on the shingle. Then it was time to fill up and head back for an early night as we get an early train in the morning. AND tomorrow France and foreign climes beckon 2 Quote
Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 354 miles done today. Most of it motorway but it was still enjoyable. Tonight we went to Dungeness and also past the live firing ranges. Dungeness is beautiful and desolate. Google Dungeness and read the Wikipedia page as it is so, so interesting. Expensive houses, houses built from railway carriages, nature, shipwrecks and nuclear power stations. Not forgetting the miniature railway. What's not to love. 5 Quote

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Already on the Chunnel. Blue skies and bright sunshine. So easy to get through passport control and amazed how long the trains are to drive through. 5 Quote
