Day 1 – I made it to Calais!

Set off from london fine but quite quickly developed gear problems and a puncture. Long story short, support vehicle picks me up, fixed it! Dropped me at the first water stop and it was on from there. Lunch good then set off for the afternoon. Some difficult climbs but I made pretty good time. Quick stop to wave at Granny as we passed her house, then on to Dover.

Arrived Dover 3pm. Mum and Granny there to meet me. Now I have arrived in Calais. Let’s see what awaits us on day 2.
