we got off the boat to heavy enough rains.
and were aiming for 1st fuel stop,,,about 20 0r 30 km from dunkirk
when...yeah.we ran out of fuel.had a bit in a can,but not enough.
didnt top it up after using it to bypass the filter in holyhead.
went walkin to near farmhouse...that we could see from motorway.got wet
no one home walked a couple of km to others...
all farmers that only sucked diesel.
went back to motorway...no one was stoppin at the sight of a fuel can in hand
before or after i went walkin.
so decided to walk on down motorway to hitch
got a lift straight away
sound man took me 8km to next gas station and back again.happy days!
did a quick stop to pick up some yellow headlight lenses for the oval and on to bbt.
it was pissin down thunder and lightnin
didnt hook up the wipers at any stage.as they arent great,
and id had lots of exp with "landfill"
met a couple from uk in a 67 split and drove last bit with them.
got there about 11pm,in time to go to bed.
just got tent up before rain started.
woke up about 4am to see it rainin in the tent.
we hadnt bothered with tent pegs or guylines.so it wasnt taught.
had set alarm for 10am.lol
jon was out with the camera before 7,
just as well,convoy ended up starting to leave at 8.
police had roads held up to let all dubs out at intervals
it was rainin heavy enough through holland...convoy was fairly spread out.
weather got much better in germany...
convoy regrouped at a few petrol stations on the way.
we got to hessisch about 2 hours ago to a lovely summer eve.
u can guess the rest.oval and split bugs all over the place as well as loads of nice buses etc.
jon has been takin the pics
not sure when he will get chance to upload.
all the best.
