Ah yes! me and my pal had a wonderful time visiting the war memorials and museums along the north coast. we crossed at Calais and tootled over to Deuville then camped and visited as many places as we could up along the coast to Granville.

We saw St Andrews mount from a distance but sadly we had to get to Roscoff for the return ferry.

The french are so much more polite to bikers too, I was astonished at the way we were waved pass traffic jams by hundreds of polite french drivers! we only experienced one incident of agressive driving at it was british 4x4!

On landing back in the UK the stark contrast came home with a bump when my pal was cut up by a british Audi and I was forced onto the centre reservation by a lorry driver who arrogantly gave me the 'finger' as I swerved and beep my horns! from there home we both commented on the appaling standard of driving here in the UK...it really was an eye opener!

all in all its was abit of emtional trip too as I really wanted to see where my dad had landed in the D day effort, as it turns out he may have actually been part of the battle for Pegasus bridge but I need to write to the war office/REME to see if I can confirm this.

anyways a brilliant trip...going againg next year!

photos....near Armoranches, pegasus bridge, war graves and Roscoff Cathedral.

Careful Jamie, France is very addictive.
You'll be returning a lot methinks.

Even retiring here !

Very pleased you enjoyed your trip.
