Reaching La Manche
By the time we arrived at the coast it had started to rain - torrentially. We pulled in by the estuary at Grand-Fort-Philippe, around 10 miles from the port of Dunkerque intending to go for a walk, but I only managed a couple of pictures from the car of sodden mud banks. We had something to eat in the van and made our way to the embarkation area. In Dunkerque this is surrounded by wire fencing which makes you feel a little as if you are in a prison camp, so I thought it worthy of a shot or two, especially as the rain had stopped leaving a moody sky. We arrived in Dover at 9.00pm, in good time to get home for bed.
