A quiet Blat in France
Nigel and I were so taken by Le Blat that we talked about heading back there for a quieter more low key day. In truth the cost was so reasonable it was rude not to. With Tony B and Bryan accompanying us we headed off…………
we managed 180 miles over there, arriving a little before 11 and leaving at 8.30. A bargain day out for the cost of the ferry.
We did 4 stages, a coffee at Desvres, Lunch at Berck a seaside Town below Le Touquet ( where the Moules proved a popular choice ) –
The afternoon took us to Wimereux for a refreshment stop –
as before the cars stirred up interest wherever we were: people working on their gardens downed tools to smile and wave, kids ran to the street to grin and wave as we sailed past and once parked up there were calls for pics of the cars –
for the small outlay of the ferry i really would recommend a days driving in France, yes you’ll come across a few roads that are no better than the UK or possibly not suited to hard riding kits, but in the main you’ll find some lovely smooth tarmac, some fantastic sweeping and twisty roads that open out before you and moreover a great welcome from the locals. If you don’t fancy covering so many miles –
Le Blat Deux a Group event which is listed in Group Runs is happening in Sept and for those wavering –
