My adventure so far had seen my cycle around the largest channel island which i was got stranded on for over a week to finally make it over to france had pedal my way through the exciting yet cold french countryside on my quest to reach Paris, however now i need to continue my bikepacking adventure by making it back home to england, All that stands in my way is about 200 miles 320 km to reach calais and get a ferry back to dover england.

The ending of a great trip nice one Josh. I had a road trip last March that came into Calais from the North (Dunkirk) and the lanes and trails were very similar to what you experienced (the weather was the same as well) I felt very vulnerable in the Calais port as I asked how to get onto the ferry from the ticket office you filmed from and I was directed to the place where motor traffic also came into the port. I was mixing it with Lorries and motorhomes and got put into a waiting lane all by myself whilst I waited to be allowed on the ferry back home, the guy directing the traffic took pity on me and let me on first so got the food before the motorists 🙂 I think I will try another port next time. Anyway an excellent series and it was a trip down memory lane as my wife is from Jersey although we haven't been there for 20 years and its changed a lot going by your film.
Brilliant mate really enjoyed this one ..still blows my mind to think you do all these trips without a brew and hot meal at the days end. Atb Coops 👍🏻🚴
