It was an early start in the bike for life camp. 5am to be precise.
Bustard was up a tad earlier than the rest of us. He had to say goodbye to some food the same way it went in, were all convinced it was karma for the seagull incident.
After packing up we cruised down to the dock and boarded the ferry with no problems.
The ferry was a time to relax and rest our weary heads for the 50 miles ahead when we docked in Cherbourg.
After asking a pizza man for directions we set off on some good hill climbs but I was feeling the strain of my knee and fell behind off the pace with Phil staying behind to keep me company.
We trudged on through with a swift stop at aldi and met the others in la haye where the guys were enjoying a beer.
After resting for a while we set off once more towards our destination, Coutances. Then a good 12 miles down the road a realisation dawned on Bustard.
He had left his phone behind the bar to charge but forgot to pick it up on the way out. So he had a nice return trip to make to la haye. Adding 30 miles of riding to his day.
Due to my slow pace with george and louis we popped into a campsite to see if the guys had stopped there but were greeted by a fiesty dog and an english couple.
The others managed to find the town centre where Phil managed to stack it once more. His tally of falling over is increasing quickly.
After some very straight and flat roads we made it to the Coutances campsite. Were we all set up camp. Whilst Bustard turned up a little later.
Later we went into town and visited a restaurant where James tucked into the finest kid meals known to man, not.
