Drove to next campsite, which is only 150 miles but it took five hours. Always double the estimated travelling time when you’re towing a caravan. It was hot. Arrived about 4pm. Last time we stayed here, the car was towed away with buggered front suspension and Kim was ill so it was not a happy time. It’s a good site and has laundry facilities and a swimming pool.

Overcast and cool all morning but no rain. We sat about reading and generally relaxing. Cycled to Vic sur Aines after lunch. There were road works and traffic lights on the bridge, reducing it to one narrow lane with big lorries thundering across. I was all for leaving the bikes chained up and walking into town – there was no room to push them along the narrow pedestrian bit – but Kim was having none of it. So I wobbled across on the green light with a docking great lorry snorting its way up my bum. At least he didn’t run me over but he was bloody close!
