I think England ladies may have saved you from a 3am visit from the plod.

Nothing like an afterglow (and distance) to make even goole look nice.

Is this the Hull-Rotterdam ferry?  I'm dropping some people off on it tomorrow afternoon for the return journey so I'll try not to run you over on the way up.  You would  spot them because they have 4 very yappy dogs but by then you will be lucky to be a long way away

There's only 1 per day to Rotterdam and another to Zeebrugge. I know's it's Hull but I'm sure they speak some form of English there 😜

You won't get a response for a while, he'll be down the disco with a load of German truck drivers.

No zeebruge passenger option these days is there? Maybe they made him take a freight one though as he's towing a trailer.

Direct boat to Rwanda surely?  Pritti had heard a rumour he might be willing (likely) to start an argument with her. 😉

PS - I hope you had a good wind from the west on the Selby-Hull leg.

I did have a tailwind apart from when the cycle route went round and about

Thats another leg completed. I am going to rest up in Amsterdam for a few days. Then I'll decide what do next. Physically i am feeling pretty good. The head is not bad either.

Crikey, your photoshop skills are bloody good. That sunshine and blue sky looks real, you've even got the shadows right.

Ah the good old Humber Bridge, part of my route for a Saturday while the wife  does the local Park run. There’s actually some pretty good off-road mtbing/ gravel riding very close by.

At least theres no hills, but watch out for those bloody tramlines.

A trip to the Netherlands would be a good edition.
