West Somerset to Plymouth, Brittany ferry to Roscoff, then down the West Coast to Bordeaux and finally to Bergerac. A hot drive, around 37 deg before Bordeaux, so we cheated and ran hood up and aircon on for that sector. No major rain but very humid.
Used the Peage toll motorways and a prepaid car transducer so no stopping at the toll gates,, not great motoring but faster and available fuel stops on the motorway. . Some queuing around Nantes and Bordeaux but only for a few minutes at changes of roads.
Lots of folk liked the Plus Six and lots asked to take photos of it at the motorway food stops.. The Plus Six ran well but is now very bug splattered..
No photos yet, will try to post when we return home.
Around Pont Aven in Southern Brittany on the N165 we were overtaken by a Ivory coloured Morgan towing what seemed to be a very close coupled matching trailer with what looked to be a wooden brandy barrel mounted on it with its own central red flashing light on its top..we were crusing, so did not give chase. The car had euro plates, but I could not see what nationality , I believe it was French.. Its the first time we have seen a Morgan towing a trailer.
Last point, we have changed our luggage bag to two 60 litre waterproof "overboard"" duffel bags, the two bags fit and strap down well on the rear standard luggage rack and you can still see the central brake light in the rear hood, plus two bags are easier to lift about than one big one.!!
Learnt a lesson yesterday, it was 40 deg, so hood up and aircon on..All was good until I drove through a localised swarm of locusts.. I have spent the last hour poking the bodies out of the front grill and lower grill..!! Now the wasps are eating whats left.. So don't drive through a locust swarm.😄
