Well iv said it before and gone back on my word , but france passion are really a waste of money, I said I wasn't going to have it this year but on a whim after having an email promoting it I subscribed again , well today we were on a lovely aire but decided to move on , so picked a france passion on a vineyard out.
After many twists and turns in near unpassable roads we get to one only to find a barb wire fence across the entrance, nothing about it closing anytime in the book and all the signs there but no one anywhere.
Anyway , think we will give up on them now and stick to aires, got my aires app up on my phone and gone 18 km down the road to a place called humbligny to an immaculate aire , on our own , just farms around and views for miles.

Well here we are, back in good old gravelines,
Night here , a day duty freeing in cite Europe and others tomorrow, back here tomorrow ready for tunnel, Saturday dinner.
Been a strange run this time, found Aires that are not in any book, others that are but no longer there, France passion one fenced off, other one nice but pricey in the shop.
Three mobile been the biggest mystery, I have a cheapo Chinese phablet, almost never failed to connect but two normal mobiles with the same pay and go ,321 sims in that have seemed never to find signal, this is after they worked fine last year on the same addon.
Suns out today after a very windy night.

No we're going to head towards Abbeville tonight and see how far we get. Will leave work at 5.30, at the tunnel about 6 and hopefully on the next train so can get a few miles done tonight.
