The journey there - May 29th
I'd loaded mine and Marks kit the day before I left.
I started the journey from Derby at about 3pm and went to pick Keef up from West Bromwich and we went straight to Folkestone to get on the tunnel.
Wed decided to drive through Belgium , Germany and Austria through the night to try and miss a lot of the traffic !
We had a bit of luck in Belgium when the police pulled me for doing 150k and let us off with a warning

The weather was awful in Germany and Austria and we drove 6 hours solid through heavy rain

We finally reached our destination at about 5pm after a couple of pitstops , then we went to have a look at the canal for the first time.
