Wednesday evening and all loaded ready for the early start on Thursday morning...

like it says over my left shoulder...Walsall M6 Junction 10...the meeting place for the start of our journey...

04:00 and we're ready for the off...Mick...Me...Simmo & Lyndon...

first stop ahead of schedule...we're absolutely soaked...the rain is of biblical proportions...

South Mimms...a little behind the time I normally keep when I'm riding by myself...

still South Mimms...we're actually a hour behind the time I normally leave here...

the sun is finally shining...actually...the bad weather stayed in England...

more variations of two wheels on the same ferry...

got one of the other two wheel riders to take a photo for us...

edited from the picture above...

not a bad picture...taken with Mick's phone...

all loaded...just have to strap it down and it's off upstairs for breakfast on board...
