Notes-
From Salisbury to Folkestone – 145 Miles
On a sunny and perfect late summer afternoon my brother-in-law Rod and I load my Mini Cooper S Clubman and set off from my home in Salisbury Wiltshire on the first leg of our long journey around Europe. As our booing on the Eurotunnel is for 06:50 on Monday we decided to stop over at the Holiday Inn Express in Folkestone Kent. Despite being a Sunday afternoon the M25 is very slow but we arrive in time for tea. At Folkestone we meet up with my other Brother-in law Peter and his chum John who are driving down in Peter’s white 1988 Porsche 924S. Early to bed because we need to be at the Eurotunnel terminal for 06:00 (disabled drivers please note the requirement for an early check-in).
