Beatsugar is one of my favourite Euro Rallies...and as is normal for this rally I'm setting off on Thursday to break the journey up a little...

I really do need to get that side door painted...

around 07:30 Thursday morning and it's time to get going...

first stop for fuel at South Mimms after a very eventful journey so far...a puncture in the rear tyre before Coventry on the M6 and again at the end of roadwork's on the M1...the repair hadn't worked properly but I got it the second time...

I finally caught up with Di who'd set off ahead of me...she'd been waiting here for about 45 minutes...

just checked the tyre pressure and although it was down a little all seemed ok...although the floor is soaked we've seen no rain up to this point!!..

time to get the obligatory picture before I check in...

just given the tyre a kick to see if all is ok...all seems fine...check it properly in a bit...

as we've just missed a ferry I'm first in the queue for the next one...

never know how to stand when I know I'm about to have my picture taken...

Di's at the front of the queue too...

what's Di spotted!!..

starting to fill up a bit now...

coming over on a Thursday has it's benefit's...quiet ferry being just one...
