Day 12 (Thurs) Mid France to Northern France in the rain
It was mozzie city and Clare got eaten!
Day 13 (Fri) Northern France to Belgium then Calais and Folkstone to Lincoln - long drive but wanted to get home because of the weather.
Had a sticky relay and some strange electrical issues post rain
Made it to tobacco alley in Belgium
Bit of clutch cable adjustment
Back on the tunnel
And finally home
We had an awesome time and suffered only very minimal issues with Murphy - exhaust came loose, chattering relay, rear brakes overheated and ended up with a noisy clutch/gearbox (need to investigate further). We will regail you with the stories when we see you at some shows in the future.
