Hi people. Its Sean on Ellie's account as i cant be bothered to log in.

Finally made it. 250 miles from Wakefield to Dover last night. Ferry was 90mins late. Set off on the ferry at about 3.20am, arrived at Dunkerqe at about 6am.

468 miles later, we finally arrived. Got lost a few times, but the roads more than made up for it.

Im sure more people will update you later.

Hope everyone is ok

I feel a little clarification is needed.

Al didn't race Sticky, as this would be very illegal on public roads. What we did do was conduct a scientific experiment under laboratory conditions, using strict monitoring. The results were as follows...

On a long, wide and straight test track, similar to a motorway, a BMW 335d will, after a short spell of no difference, pull away from a 388 BHP Scoob. Not massive amounts, but it's there. Much to both Al and my own surprise and amusement.

Then we arrived at the twisties and the Beemer in my mirrors disappeared quicker than a 2CV driven by Miss Daisy herself.

It is (Brace yourselves anyone who knows my opinion of BMWs) a stunning motor, and he's getting something like 55mpg, and I would certainly consider one as a potential future Stickychariot. Bring on the mods. The first of which HAS to be a TomTom, as the built in sat nav was programmed by POB, and insists on taking in the shopping centres of every city, town, village and hamlet it passes within 50km of. Utterly useless

Right, off to see what yesterday's pics came out like. Thread soon

Dont rely on Al's sat nav Katrina coz you'll be sight seeing round Wakefield instead of going to the hair dressers

Landed at second hotel in Brienz and the men are just getting showered for tea.
They say it takes women long to get ready - jeez i tell you

Hotel is lovely and next to the lake. Got a lovely view from our room balcony, mountains, lake and wooden buildings (i dont know what they are called) but they are a damn nice.

Got some ace pics and had a ride with Si and Frostie too today, been a right laugh.

I think weve got a day here tomoz just doing what we want (Andys going shopping ).

Seeya all later
