The trip has begun!

May 1st, we planned to leave at 7.30am, but didn't leave until 9am. Had a few minor breakdowns on the way to the Humber Bridge, but the ride was an overall success, and we made the ferry with plenty of time to spare.

Since then we have been pulled up by the police in Holland, invited into some very nice peoples house for amazing coffee, and set a new daily distance record on the quad at 77.5km yesterday. As soon as we left England , we have had ZERO breakdowns... brilliant!

We've rode through heavy rain, icy cold winds, farmland, bridges, city squares and tunnels. All in only 3 days. We are currently in Antwerpen, Belgium on a day off, and will be heading to Brussels tomorrow.

The epic has definately begun!

Dan.
