An unscheduled rest day. We decided to stay at this campsite for an extra day. The forecast was for rain, which we got from about 11:00 until 5:00 and again from 6:00 onwards. The main reason for staying here is to avoid being in Belfast on Sunday. Our plan now is to be in Belfast on Monday and Tuesday.
Today was a day for washing, and updating the blog. Ralf sourced bike wheels and we have contacted a company in Somerset to see if we can get them shipped to Joy’s house. I checked out warmshowers hosts for Belfast, it would be nice to save some more money, as we are a little over budget from England. I also checked out if we should cycle by the shop and take a different ferry to France. We may decide to take a ferry from Poole, Dorset to Cherbourg instead of Portsmouth to Lehavre. That is a couple of weeks away, so we won’t worry about it until we get back into England.
It always feels good when I get the blog updated. Although while we are in the South it may not get updated, as I will need to use free wi-fi. My data stick is only good for the UK and I don\’t want to buy another data stick until we get into France. I apologize in advance if the Ireland posts are late being posted.
Lovely photo’s yet again. I sometimes feel I’m with you, wish I was !! Are you coming back to Nottingham before you set of for France? love you both xx
We won’t be coming back to Nottingham before we set of for France. Timing is getting a bit short to see Europe before winter sets in. All our gear is 3 season not winter season, although we have been putting it to the test in England.
Late posts, not acceptable, what am I to look forward too with no blog updat, oh I know chemo… Lol
lol I will try to update as soon as I get free wi-fi.
