England oh England

Early start in Annan, mainly because we both woke up early to the most fantastic sunrise,over the distant M6.Hughie had to drive as there was just me and him until my Mum and Dad arrived at dinner time.
We arrived at the border and took this phot at a moment of supreme anti climax,as you can see the sign is the most under rated bit of tin,with a bloody pac man sticker on it.
Any way I set off for long town whilst Hughie went and picked my Parents up.who then bought us lunch.
My Mum drove the van and me ,Dad, Flint and the hughster walked the first 3 mile stint of the afternoon and then Mum and Dad swapped and we did the next session.Today's flotsam and jetsam was 2 cards. one Halifax credit card and one nectar card in the name of Mr R sole. which made us giggle.
My knee is holding up ,and the blisters are knacking.
I came back to HQ ,had a shower and hoovered up .then Hughie decided to fill his water tank and empty his waste, so i needed to move the van. which I immediately ran of the raised concrete and got stuck.he then proceeded to get the camper stuck in the mud ,so we had to be rescued by the farmers 15 year old son.embarrassing.
tonight my Mum and Dad took us for a meal which was quality and now we are back looking at the route for stage 2 of this mammoth trek.
