Took advantage of the cheap eurotunnel fares (£37) and nipped to montreuil to confirm some local logistics for a group trip in July and to visit fav cheese shop.
M25 M20 and cheeky McD breakfast on route. Booked on the 920 as my mate rode from north of Cambridge.
Clear lanes but slow..
A group of Austrian bikers including some on Ducati multistradas with plenty of mods.
Interestingly they were drinking tins of Guiness on the train..
Avoided the A16 as impressive it is the coast road is better. First exit off the A16 and follow for the 940 along the coast, lovely sweeping bends, plenty of view ahead, minimal slow areas.
Quick visit to a WW2 gun musee I have t seen before. I say visit but I just looked over the fence and turned around.
Through to bologne then back roads towards le touquet and back roads to Madeline sous montreil and then montrieul for soup, quiche and half a beer at the pot du clappe
Admin at the tourist office ( tickets for a show in July), check secure bike parking for a group in July at the hotel (le Coq), check the table at the restaurant (darnetal), check th booking at the restaurant and order 12 sulkling pig ( or is it sulking pig?).
Cheese shop for the new release of some snazzy local cheese ( in the corner of the town square). Couple of baquettes for home.
Quick blast up the A16 to the terminal and we meet a chap with a ural with side car .. very nice.
More GS owners on the train back. Exit the twin and moments later it M20 all the way to blackheath / Greenwich and home in time for Dr Who !
Not the cheapest way to buy cheese but a good day out
