....Yesterday woke early....We'd arrived at a campsite in Fismes the night before....Nobody was about so we had to break into the toilets....The first code we tried worked!....1234....The caretaker still hadn't arrived in the morning so we packed & jumped on the bike....With the clutch slipping, it didn't really want to move but 10 minutes down the road it picked up speed....I think we got to 50mph!....Anyway we pushed on all day ending up in Honfleur last night....It's very beautiful here but also very crowded with well dressed tourists....The kind of place that makes me feel very scruffy after 3 months on an MT with one spare set of smelly clothes!....

.....Anyway this morning the clutch finally died....The bike would no longer move!!!......

....So this afternoon with just over 100 miles to Cherbourg, I offered two German lads who were stopping on the same campsite, Paul & George some cash to take us and the bike to Cherbourg in the back of their van!...The van only had 3 seats so Ruth caught the train and I went with the bike....We're in a hotel in Cherbourg now and will push the bike to the ferry in the morning....hopefully!!
...Big Thanks to Paul & George....Thanks Guys!....
