The greyhound called Charlie has arrived.  He was due at 5.30 a.m. on Thursday morning in Montclar but because of delays at the Eurotunnel the next ETA was to be at 7.00 a.m.  Yay, I get to lie in a bit longer, but at 5.55 a.m. I received a text from Chris to say they were about 25 mins away.  I scramble myself awake and make coffee.

I was following them the night before on the sat nav section of their website and I see now that they aren’t coming the expected route i.e. direct from the A61 motorway but appear to have gone round in a loop and ended up in the hills way over on the other side of the road from Montclar.  Chris loses his connection to the satellite and he seems to be heading in the wrong direction!   He texts me then calls me for GPS coordinates! …
