Bonjour

Well I have made stage 1 and to be honest it was not too bad.  My car has proved very comfortable in the cruise and the french road system has also helped.  I will add though that the French speed traps are very cunning but a big thank you to all french truck drivers for letting me know when they are coming up!

I completed nearly 700-800 miles yesterday from the start at my mum's to the end in Bellegarde-du-Razes.  Linda and Paul have worked really hard on renovating the house and it really shows how much they are enjoying life away from the UK.

I am going to try to add pictures when I can but I think it is going to have to wait until I get myself set up in Spain.  

I am about to get on the road now and start the next leg.  Not sure how far I am going to go but I do plan to split the journey and stay a night in one of Spain's finest motels.  I am due to be at my new abode on Saturday.  My route is going to take me right down the east coast so hopefully if I can be bothered I should have some more snaps.

Anyhow speak soon...

  1. Glad the first leg went so well!! Hopefully the French truck drivers will continue, and soon the Spanish ones, will be as helpful!!
    Looking forward to your next posting.

  2. Just updating on Dave's behalf - heard from the traveller. All is well and Dave is getting some shut eye at the Ibis in Murcia, only another 3hours driving (approx) to do to destination. Seems so strange knowing he left in his car yesterday and is nearly there tonight! we are all so used to air travel that actually 'manually' doing it becomes almost surreal, especially when you get a text at 6am saying your on the ferry and then at 11am saying you had a pee break just past Paris! Apparently the Pyrenees are spectacular! xx
