FRIDAY THE 13th


Friday the 13th marked a significant day for William’s for two reasons
  1. He quit his job of 9 years at IAC in Halewood
  2. It signified the start of another motorcycle adventure with his ageing partner in crime Edward’s 
Williams boss Richard could not believe his luck that he was leaving of his own accord 😂. A great place to work and will be missed.

Leaving IAC for the last time



The plan this time was a short trip to France to tour some of the WW2 beaches and monuments. As usual Edward’s planned the route which is fine. However, he also booked the AirB&B for the first night in France as well and if previous efforts are anything to go by we could be sleeping in a barn.

Williams took care of the Friday night stop though by abusing the kind nature of Deb’s sister and Boyfriend Lyndsay and Mark who live in Waterlooville which is about 70 miles from Newhaven where we planned to sail from.

The ferry was leaving at 9:30 meaning an early and chilly (5 degree) start. All pretty un eventful until we got to the ferry port. The lads were pulled over for a security inspection of the bikes involving the opening of luggage to check we were not carry any illegal immigrants to France. Williams was fine as they clearly just wanted to admire the Mighty Wing but Edward’s was forced to handover the 2ft spicy sausage and 1/2 drunk bottle of babycham .

When we were called to board the boat we watched in horror as the guy on the brand new 24 plate Ducati Multistrada in front of us mounted his bike on the left and then tipped over in slow motion to the right. After helping him to pick his bike up Williams said not to worry he has the whole thing on video. No sense of humour some people.

Veules-Les-Roses a ferry and a late ride home

Image
Our host last night recommended that we visit Veules-Les-Roses on our way back the ferry and it was certainly a good recommendation. The River  Veules , which flows through the village, is  France’s smallest river.  Its water is used in ponds for growing  watercress  from where it finds its way to the sea through a gap in the high chalk cliffs, which overlook a sand and pebble beach.  The ferry left at 6pm and arrived in the UK at 9pm. We decided to just to ride straight home. Not the best ride we have ever had. Edward’s arrived home at about 1:30am and William’s about an hour later. It seems that every council in the country had decided to fix the roads that night The Mighty Wing gets a well deserved wash in the morning

Monuments, beaches and long way round

A day spent visiting WW2 museums, cemeteries and monuments. A day also showing how an over reliance on Shat Nav combined with a pigeon understanding of French can get you a bit lost. Omaha D-Day museum mural of Churchill, the Enigma Machine and Turing. Passed this purely by chance after taking a wrong turn Next we visited Omaha beach which was filled with bus loads of Americans  The ‘Overlord Museum’ Operation Overlord was the code name for the battle of Normandy by the allied troops. ‘ American War Cemetry’  covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,389 American military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations. You cannot find a single headstone out of line. The care with which the set up and care for this place is amazing. Returning back to the car park there was another Wing parked next to William’s. Not sure about it in White. Then onto Arromanches with its  staggeringly large concrete blocks remaining from the Mulberry ...

Pegasus Bridge and Swords beach

We rode from our digs to Honfleur. Now this is one of the prettiest towns in northern France, steep ed in history and very picturesque. A perfect place to stop, due to a complete lack of planning however we decided to stop at a McDonald’s on the outskirts of Honfleur and ended up just riding through kicking ourselves that we had missed it so we have included a picture from the web so we can pretend at least that we visited, Thank you Google maps for this photo  We then rode to Villerville the setting of a very famous French film from 1962 called   Un Singe en Hiver (A monkey in winter). ‘ When a young guest arrives, an innkeeper who has vowed never to drink again succumbs to the temptation, setting off a chain of unintended consequences. The bar made famous in the film and where we first discovered Picon Bier was unfortunately closed. Muriel to the main characters, oh yeah, and one of them American Bikes that sounds like a tractor. Very Art Deco! Not entirely sure what this b...
