I always thought that Calais was supposed to be a bit of a dump, from what I'd heard. From our window I doesn't look all that bad.
Neal and I slept like logs last night, I slept uninterupted until I found myself suddenly completely awake about 8 hours later.
I'd like to know how many calories we burned yesterday. Beyond the number of miles, the intensity of some of the climbs makes me wonder. Neal, looking at him self in the mirror this morning said he thought he'd definately lost weight! :)
Yesterday as I was popping the dexrose sweets like they were M&Ms, the thought crossed my mind whether I was actually balancing the calories/energy. Ne said this morning that one packet was about 300 calories, which might explain how I managed to get through a complete packet in the last 20 miles yesterday!
I'll pass this to Neal now so he can write a few words...
So today should be a doddle at 30 miles less!

Can you confirm that you are able to read the comments sent in by your avid followers? You don't seem to have responded to any comments made in particular - but that could be because you feel there's been nothing worth responding to.
ReplyDeleteYour earliest attention to this matter would be gratefully received and welcomed by your thousands of, well hundreds - O.K. FIVE followers.
Don't forget, you are following in the footsteps of Charles Lindbergh - except that he flew to Paris in an aeroplane, and went by himself. And Hitler got there with a couple of million soldiers. But don't let that deter your worthy and noble efforts.
