What a fun filled ride back to Dunkirk, NOT... Poor Tilly had no sleep whatsoever in his ant infested tent and to say he was a bit concerned about breaking down in the 6.5 kilometer tunnel is an understatement of the century and his nerves wasn't helped none by breaking down 10 miles before the tunnel, I noticed his absence in my mirror so pulled over and waited for the phone,, it's all over Tilly says, I'm getting recovery I've had enough. Now getting back to meant a 6 mile ride around the junctions but fair play to Alan by the time I arrived back he'd fixed the bike and was ready to ride off towards the tunnel. A wire had fell off his ignition switch. I did feel a bit guilty guiding him through the tunnel but the alternative might have meant missing the ferry.
After successfully negotiating the tunnel you just couldn't have seen him more pleased.
After all this drama things settled down, we managed 50 miles then had a coffee and cake.
Then after another stop we made it to Dunkirk managing to catch an earlier ferry.
We were in the company ofa lovely guy Phil on his Norton Rotary engine bike, fantastic looking , he'd just ridden from a rally in Germany heading home to Basingstoke.
allright with some nerve braking moments, but at the end all turned out for the better!
