Day 1 saw us take the channel tunnel to Calais and ride south to our overnight stay in Arras, France. On route, we stopped at the graves of relations of two of the guys with us, and a field where one had died.
We stayed at the B&B HOTEL Arras which had a secure car park for the bikes.
It wasn’t until I arrived, I realised I had forgotten the Drone. DOH.
