Day 2: Calais-Condette (65 Km)

Day 2: Calais-Condette (65 Km)

What a first day, it's been manic but very enjoyable. 

We left Calais this morning after getting a few groceries & maps and headed along a beautiful coast road (D940) towards Boulogne Sur Mer.  The weather has been variable to say the least. Our morning session started off very warm but REALLY windy, gusting 85kph according to the local weather forecast so as you can imagine a nice easy cycle to warm up with. 

A nice view looking towards the white cliffs of Dover. 

We stopped for some lunch in a small remote French town called Ambeltouse & had a bit of a break before carrying onwards to Boulogne. 

The weather changed as we arrived in Boulogne & we were greeted with persistent heavy rain for the last 15 Km's to Condette. 


First puncture award goes to me. 

We are now in a lovely campsite just outside Condette & looking forward to a sunny day tomorrow.
