57 miles ( Audinghen to Merlimont) average speed 9.7 mph top speed 33mph<\/p>\n

via Boulogne-sur-Mer, Hardelot and Etaples<\/p>\n

Porridge<\/p>\n

Slow start stopped at Carrefour for Brie, bread, crisps for lunch at Hardelot beach<\/p>\n

Nearly lost electrics but saved by strap of pannier. Did lose a shoe out of same pannier. Lightens the load but they were lightweight sketchers! If weather stays the same may send waterproofs and gloves on ahead.<\/p>\n

Visited Etaples war memorial very emotive.<\/p>\n

Party in town, terrible singer and fireworks.<\/p>\n

Lovely sunset over massive beach.<\/p>\n
