Homeward to Maidstone

Thursday, The final leg

David is heading south west to Gloucester, and me south to Kent. 
We setoff reasonably early, but timed to miss the rush hour.

The road is now familiar, A1, M11 - from the journey north a week ago, trips to GBS and Kit Car Shows.

Helmet on now to make the miles,

Its strangely quiet, 

No more jostling for position in the convoy, 

No spectacular views, hairpins or rollercoaster roads,

A couple of times I looked in the mirrors and expected to see one or more little Seven style cars but they're all gone now; 

Just the road ahead...      an emotional drive.


Maidstone!
I cross the Queen Elizabeth bridge around 16:30 and home not long after...  

Roughly 1,833 miles travelled - the car still in one piece, a great trip with a great group of people.

All done for another year.

Its so quiet... no engine noise, the ringing in my ears fading, no one home: kids are at school, Wife at work. Peace. Time for a long soak in the bath.
