2004. Day Fifteen, Guines

Day fifteen 25th June

Today we move closer to Calais as we have a fairly early ferry the next day, this time we have picked a site from the Castel Sites map, Camping Bien Assise near the village of Guines.

We left the site straight onto the N17 though the town to the D938 and onto the A1 to the A26 to turn off N2 the N43 and eventually the D231 to Guines.  We travelled in convoy with me in front and Mick to the rear we used our two-way radios to keep in contact and they came in handy when Jenifer was sick and we had to pull into a rest area.

After we all got the three tents set up (it was Ralph first time with a new tent but we managed quite easily), some of us set off in the two cars to the big supermarket (the one we used on day four), to stock up on booze to take home.

It was an absolutely beautiful day but some of us missed most of it driving and shopping, while the others sunbathed or went swimming in the very good pool.

We got food from the site takeaway at tea time, a selection of piazzas, burgers and chips but it wasn't very nice, we may have just been unlucky but I think it was just done in the microwave, not good for a posh site.
