Setting out

Day one of my adventure.

Furbie is safely and noisily installed in her feline hotel, where they assure me she helps by trotting round with the staff when they feed the others. As I’ve not travelled since the Spring, they haven’t seen her for a while.

I’m now feeling ready to set off. I was surprised that I’d lost my confidence a little and it’s taken me longer than last time (not physically)

My journey was down the M6 and M1 and then along the M25. These autumn colours are in the car park of my hotel (where it’s cheaper to stay and park than at the docks).

I can relax in Essex and share a taxi around lunchtime to embark........more to follow....
