So. My final Weasel adventure? Perhaps. These are my notes from the final day and the trip across the Channel. What is wrong with these people? Clearly they’re not like me at all. Perhaps, after all is said and done, … Continue reading →

Guipry to Bayeux

Posted on August 21, 2010 by Gary

I had a brief exchange with Lorna in Bayeux today. She can’t stand the negativity either. Nothing’s ever good. Biggest surprise – at dinner last night, in a fantastic creperie, Sean decided he was talking to me again. I assumed … Continue reading →

Battle to Messac to St-Anne-Vilaine

Posted on August 14, 2010 by Gary

Those that slept woke at 2am and we left by 2.30. I was in Darren & Lorna’s car with Sean and we had a rockin’ 80s party all the way to Dover, inventing along the way the chicken-duck and the … Continue reading →

Farnham to Battle

Posted on August 13, 2010 by Gary
