| Le Touquet to Hardinghen (via Wissant) - 40 miles |
Jamie got Terry up at
5.30 wanting to go out, probably the tablet yesterday, but then
wouldn't settle until he was curled up in Terry's lap, then promptly
went to sleep! It was thus a bit later start than usual but we're in
no rush today, and it was already turning out to be another scorcher.
Away by 11.30 ish we
made our way steadily up the coast to the Auchan just outside
Boulogne for a few cases of beer for our stash plus a baguette then
topped off the fuel tank, although we struggled to get 10 litres in.
Still it means we should get home without having to refuel again.
After that we headed
for our usual overnight stop at Wissant but, not really to our
surprise as it is Saturday, it was full at 1.30 pm.The next nearest
was backtracking a little to Tardinghen where we found a farm aire
with lots of room and already a lot of vans parked up – it's
actually a really nice place to stay for the weekend. Awning and
chairs out, a late lunch then relax quietly for the afternoon.
It turns out that the
farm also hosts a powered hang-glider club and we were entertained
for a couple of hours, although Jamie went nuts and eventually we had
to take him inside to calm down. He was the same at Interlaken where
we saw hang gliders jumping off the mountain and landing quite close
to us; obviously he thinks they are giant birds.
It's now just on 9.00
pm and still very warm; we're packing everything away now and waiting
for someone to come and collect the fees as we're planning to leave
quite early in the morning. We're planning to call in at Mums in
Navenby for lunch but then head straight for home so the final
posting will be from home and maybe a day or two.

some light aircraft noise.
