Have you ever crashed into someone?

I think you may well have.

At that time I was a tall skinny kid (20 ish) with glasses, on a brown
Woodrup, in a small yellow tent cooking on a Trangia stove and eating huge
amounts of pasta and croissants.

I've never kept a diary, so am relying on memory, I have a vague
recollection of meeting a couple of English lads at a campsite somewhere in
France. Was that you?

I'm pretty sure the chap we - for there were two[1] of us - met was on a
Woodrup (on tubs?). He was definitely tall, lean, bespectacled and from
Leeds and said something along the lines of "Over here!" having spotted our
Karrimors wandering folornly around a rather crowded campsite. He said he
was heading for the Pyrenees "to get a road sign"

1 - me on a Claud Butler Majestic and my mate Russ on a Dawes Galaxy.

That was defiantly me. I didn't get down to the Pyrenees in the end, went up
the Dordogne and thru the massive central instead.

I'm almost embarassed to be remembered, looking back on me, then I suppose I
was a bit of a prat, in a way your the only person who knows the me that
existed then, everyone else knows the me that exists now and has replaced
the old me.

Sorry thats a bit deep init?

Anyway I had a brilliant trip, how did yours turn out?

Pretty good. We got as far as Libourne - also on the Dordogne but closer to
Bordeaux - and loafed around doing a bit of unladen touring in the vineyard
regions. Rode down to Bordeaux, train from there back to Nantes and rode
back to St. Malo from there.

Village en fete near Mont St Michel on the second to last day - street party
and amazing fireworks. Nearly got arrested on the last night due to meeting
some Belgian lunatics in St Malo. Terrible overnight ferry trip back to
Portsmouth - full of shouting kids making kipping on the floor well-nigh
impossible.

Rode home straight back up the A3. I wouldn't go /near/ it today
