I got up at 8 and went for coffee in the garage. I should have bought a ham and cheese croissant then, but went back to pack up first and when I returned they’d sold out. I ended up with a packet of biscuits and coffee for brekkie. My tent dried out in the wind and sun and I left at 10.45 with the wind at my back.
The road works finished after about 3 miles and the new road was good.
End of the roadworks, the new road is good
Clear skies and a following wind into Mercedes
