THEY’RE OFF!!!
The intrepid Gerard and Edith left on their latest odyssey this morning at 9.30 am from Tower Bridge in Central London bound for Jerusalem. Seen off by family and friends – but unfortunately not your intrepid reporter who is recovering from a gallbladder operation.....
They took it easy along the North Downs of Kent, bicycling 40 miles arriving at the historic Chatham Boatyard near Rochester at 5.30 pm having stopped for refreshments along the way. Being East Midlanders they had forgotten how hilly Kent can be – all those chalk downs are quite hard work. They had pleasant weather. No rain and not too warm either. Just as they arrived in Chatham they caught their tyre in a tram rail and had a spill and got some scratches but both seem in very good spirits.
Tomorrow to Calais and La Belle France!
