Hey everyone. Finally found a place to get on the net!
After spending a few hours on the M25, M11, A13 and M20 due to road closures, We got to Dover in the nick of time for our ferry. We were stopped at customs. They took one look in our packed boot, gave up and waived us into the queue.
We met the Shark team on the ferry and the Rover 214 team. The shark team in their Mondeo was putting some finishes to their fins after having lost one under the wheels of a transit van coming down to Dover.
Sat nav lost the plot in Dover and kept telling us to head away from the ferry terminals. So we resorted to low tech and read the sign posts.
After just over an hour on the ferry, we were risking life and limb on the French roads. The sat nav redeemed itself in it's effort to guide us to the hotel.
but our adventure is not yet over for the day.
We drove to the meet point to register for the event. Got excited when we saw lots of cars in the parking lot of Auchans that we did not realise we had forgtten to take all the correct paper works required. Luckily it was back in the hotel. So off we went in the car again. Grabbed the papers and drove to Auchan. By the time we registered, the shops in Auchans had shut and locked tighter then Chen's wallet.
So we consigned ourselves to the pub for sustanance (of the solid and liquid variety). We met a few teams, but it was getting late and so we called it a night.
