Once again, my closest friends and colleagues had turned up to wave me off as I set off on my second long bike ride to <strong>England\/Ireland\/Scotland<\/strong>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to plan, I had wanted to start around 1pm, but the lattes at the corner coffee shop were so good that we stayed and chatted with a couple until 2.30pm.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lifts of the <strong>pedestrian tunnel<\/strong> were working, so I was soon on the Left Bank. The first bit I rode with a man who was curious about my little flag and we soon got chatting.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the Galgenweel I swerved towards Zwijndrecht, where I decided to eat a sandwich before the long stretch to Kaprijke. To my dismay, I noticed that my <strong>yellow Bubaque flag<\/strong> that Reach Out board member Patricia had so ingeniously stitched together, had disappeared. At the Galgenweel, it was still hanging on, so driving back blown. It was indeed - and fortunately - next to the cycle path around the Galgenweel, where I <strong>strong headwind<\/strong> had - like the rest of the ride by the way... Westbound riding in a NW wind means wind from the right front .<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was already foggy, after an hour it also began to <strong>drizzle<\/strong>, and to save time I cycled alongside the expressway. Pretty pictures were not in the cards.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, I did see on the verge two <strong>beautiful large white birds<\/strong> with a very cool crest and a long tail.

A new <strong>coastal cycling route<\/strong> constructed, but it is still interrupted here and there by sandy yards that cannot be crossed with a packed bike.<br \/>I arrived nicely in time for the <strong>16-hour ferry<\/strong> and arrived 2 sailing hours later at 5pm local time in <strong>Dover<\/strong>.<br \/>Getting out of the harbour by bike was no laughing matter. I had to take a <strong>red line<\/strong>, but that ended at a <strong>closed gate<\/strong>. So I drove on and asked for directions, but was sent back. Then I had better luck: near the gate was a lady who was kind enough to open it.<br \/>To a <strong>Coastal campsite in Folkestone<\/strong> it was 12km of cycling, so I was counting on just under an hour, but that was outside the <strong>steep slopes<\/strong>, the narrow, <strong>bicycle unfriendly gates<\/strong> and the <strong>wretched state of National Cycling Route 2<\/strong> reckoned... As a result, I didn't arrive at a campsite on the coast just before Folkestone until around 8pm. As dusk began to fall, until it was pitch black, there kept coming a <strong>helicopter with floodlights<\/strong> flying back and forth along the coastline.<br \/>The next morning I learned, as I suspected, that that helicopter was <strong>refugee boats<\/strong> tracks down.
