The weather forecast for the afternoon was pretty dire so as we left RAF Scampton and turned left down the A15 with 'next stop Folkestone' as the plan I was fully expecting to ride for much of the afternoon in pouring rain. As it was we were pretty lucky and whilst there was some wet weather it wasn't too bad and by the time we actually reached the channel tunnel we were dry and in good spirits!
On the other side of the channel we had about an hour to run to our overnight stop at the 'Peace Village' about 8km from Ypres, Belgium. The accommodation was done as a series of small two level 'houses'. Simple, yet clean and with plenty of room to dump bike kit, panniers etc.... perfect.
