This is almost enough of a reason for my buying a motorcycle. We went on
many French runs back in the day. The last one from down here, but that
wasn't much fun for the large part. The last time I saw any of ukrm was
when I went to France in the car. We went to thingy's caff. 46 or
somesuch.

Then there are the cats...

But I do remember the ferry being very much part of the whole thing.
Fighting with French people over places to sit and eat etc.

Sort of what I was thinking, but my financial situation may get in the
way. And I haven't been to England in more than 15 years, so wouldn't
feel very "at home". I suppose I could always get somebody to buy a bike
for me and finsh the run by coming south.
