Onward to Zeebrugge and Lille
Made the boat to Zeebrugge. Had a few hours to kill so visited Hull and had some grub. Onward to the car park at the ferry terminal where we occupied ourselves by ........ Would you believe it.....cycling races in the car park and tyre tossing at a cone...the oldies won everything. On the boat and we got showered and 'Fabreezed' our cycling shoes and some did their shorts. Arrived in dry weather in Belgium and took off at a good pace. lunch at Tourhout and onward toward Lille. A couple of punctures but got to the meeting point and got escorted by the Lille Police to a reception at their HQ. Very nice company followed by a meal in the city centre. Nice food but 34 arriving at once caused a bit of a delay. Our pudding was rudely interrupted and we got to bed at 0130. Photos to follow.
