Sprint To France

Last weekend I completed my first overseas trip which was a 3 day sprint to Dieppe and back Frid to Sun, via Dover and Calais. Dieppe was great and riding out to Rouen on the Saturday was excellent. Thoroughly great experience apart from Dover and Calais, especially Calais being not so pretty, but hey that’s the way it goes. Loved the fact that French roads were in excellent condition and that as well as fellow bikers, kids, parent and grandparents all acknowledge us bikers as we rode through towns. Also loved how the car drivers move over to let you past and you are given, on most occasions, the right of way on roundabouts. Loved it

 

I will as I definitely have the touring bug now, although may try the tunnel next time

Thanks for the advice, I actually heard someone on the boat back saying that the Newhaven Route was a better way
Will defo give you a shout when next coming over, cheers

 

Some great roads to ride around dieppe and down to Rouen, we were aiming to get across to Honfluer but just didn’thave enough time, so perhaps next trip.

 

I did the Normandy landings in car too last year, but now wish I had gone on bike

 

WW1 trip was my next thoughts on trip so good call
