Today the cycling was very tough, I only just made Dover, and got on the 3:30pm ferry to Calais. Getting off, a coach tour guide asked where I was going, and I said around the world. When the coach passed me, all the passengers were waving frantically!
I couldn’t bare cycling past calais, so stopped at the campsite there. As I was finishing up cooking, the sky went black, and a huge thunderstorm came in. Really loud thunder, and loads of flashes of lightning. Turns out my tent has a slight leak – but it was in the direction of the wind, with torrential rain for 3 hours, so I’m not too worried about it.
