Lets rewind to 7th April, and of course the day we set out on our epic adventure. We traveled from London down to Dover in time to catch the lunchtime ferry to Calais, and a rather amusing crossing it turned out to be. We shared the ferry with a party of snowboarders all kitted out in fancy dress who were headed off to Switzerland for a massive convention, and there was just about every costume imaginable on view.

Once on the other side of the channel, we the journeyed 372km into a small village in Belgium where a local farmer, come dentist, reluctantly allowed us to camp in a field next to his horses. A freezing cold night followed, with unfortunately not much sleep to be had. Spirits were high however as we headed off on the next leg of our European phase the next morning...
