Started out much earlier than anticipated and left house at 6.25. Caught the Dover Calais 9.25 ferry after a very good run to the port. Coffee and pastries on the ferry, then down the E15 and E17 to a little beyond Lyon, staying in a hotel at a service station St. Rambbert d’Albon. Decided not to camp, rather torrential rain. Even took a little break at an Aire to let worse abate.

Think I have been caught speeding, sure it was a 90 limit on the motor way, but missed the short 70kph section. Oh well another toll to be paid. Rosemary was gleeful.

R also not impressed with my running on air bit, when the fuel light was on for over 20 miles. Calculations show there was a least 3 litres of fuel left. What had she to worry about.

Had a lovely raw steak hache and chips, and 500ml of wine, and now to bed.

Just a short way to go now.
