The start of an unwanted, unexpected journey.
Having been looking forward to a nice easy drive to Santander and a pleasant crossing to Portsmouth I was a tad peeeeeeeeeed off with having to start a long drive north, I left Santi's at 06:00 hoping to make it as far as La Man`s in France.
On the drive North I didn't really see much as the weather was horrendous, rained continuously and the wind bought down several trees but thankfully none stopped me moving on but a very nasty accident did but after seeing if I could help I followed a very nice young lady who told me she knew a route around to the road I wanted to be on.
Also had a couple of lorries on their sides on the motorway sections which were a lot more exposed, as I drove I did see Black-headed (Gaviota Reidora / Chroicocephalus ridibundus) and European Herring Gull (Gaviota Argéntea Europea / Larus argentatus), Western Jackdaw (Grajilla occidental / Corvus monedula), Carrion Crow (Corneja Negra / Corvus corone), Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula), Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo), Common Kestrel (Cernicalo Vulgar / Falco tinnunculus), Red Kite (Milano Real / Milvus milvus), Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs), Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus), Eurasian Collared Dove (Tórtola Turca / Streptopelia decaocto), Feral Pigeon (Paloma Bravía / Columba livia), Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica), Great Egret (Garceta Grande / Ardea alba), Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea), Western Cattle Egret (Garcilla Bueyera / Bubulcus ibis), House Sparrow (Gorrión Común / Passer domesticus) and Red-legged Partridge (Perdiz Roja / Alectoris rufa).
I arrived in La Man's and stayed at a Hotel on the outskirts but it was not great, however I showered and slept.
