Thanks everyone, have got about 5 hours sleep in the last 24 but not too tired. Sylvia is coping well with the motorway speeds and theres only 265 miles more to the ring. Must remembre to drive on the right....
We're swimming here... It's raining so hard its coming in the vents!
Can only do about 40 and i've got a bow wave!
Fred is in for the night and is trying to do some route planning as he's taken a dislike to the sat nav woman cause she didn't know what side of the river canary warf was on... Btw, we're in brussels where the only 2 facts on the country i could find where that more people use E than any other european country and that all there motorways are lit up. Some have sensors that turn the lights off when there's no moving traffic... Suppose thats why they all take E, there's nothing else to do but watch street lights....
Just leaving Brussels, checking everything ok...(honest)
