Sitting in a tyre fitters in Lancaster having had a flat on the M6, had to be towed here by the AA too as the spare was flat too. Sigh.

Less than 2 hours to go do hopefully I won’t be here too long.

Arrived Le Havre

Posted on June 22, 2009

Well after 700 miles or so and 12 hours & 15 minutes we have arrived at the ferry port……..with an hour to spare no less!

Nearly there…..

Running on fumes we found a petrol station in Paris much to the relief of all!

We are now less than 100kms from Le Harve and fueled up for the last leg. In celebration we have opened the liquorice all sorts that travelled over 1500 miles!

Seems we did run out of fuel thank goodness for the jerry can!!

We have now recallibrated the miles to litre ratio and reduced it to 80 miles for 15 litres of fuel as we have no idea of the size of it or where it may be perferated.

ETA to Le Havre is 19:45 loads of time to spare and would make it an 11:45 hr trip!

Out of fuel!!!

Posted on June 22, 2009

With only 11km to the next petrol station we run out of fuel. We are on a long incline as well so that may be a factor

More soon

Well done to the boys for completing the rally!

However, they now have a new challenge… get to Le Havre before the ferry leaves!

The clock is ticking…
