London to Paris - Day 2 - Calais to Arras via St Omer

Day started after a good breakfast although it was raining!


After 10.30am it wasn't too bad although 
we were all freezing when we got to our first refreshment stop

Spent most of the day in the company of Steve from

Lyndon had an eventful trip 

got lost and did extra 12 miles!


but eventually met up again after 
one guy rode is road bike across a field
they all got told to get of the autoroute

  
and one girl slid down a 1;5 hill and ended up in hospital
with a suspected broken arm
