Great day out with your MG? Post up a picture ?

The horse on the hill as we approach the train.

Driving on the train...a really weird feeling!

And I can't quite fathom it (excuse the pun), but I have 4G reception in this train inside a concrete and steel tube under the sea...!

Now I've looked it up, it uses DAS (Distributed Antenna System).

It's a bit of an odd feeling. Like being on a train, with the joltiness, but instead of sitting in train seats, you're sitting in the car seats. And when you look out of the window, it's pitch black!
 
It's not that new - the train or mobile coverage in tunnels - you can enjoy it in the Dartford tunnel on your return too :)

Where are you heading to, or do we keep guessing?
 
Currently on the A16 heading to Dunkirk then onto Ypres and Lille.
Want to look at some of the beaches and war graves.

Mrs S lived and worked in Lille 40 years ago so is keen to go back.

Then our eldest is running in the Paris marathon on Sunday and we will take a TGV in to try and catch him in action.
 
I remember going to Bayreuth that way with my mother in the car, the year there was the almost-complete eclipse of the sun visible from England. (I remember that because my departure time had to be co-ordinated with a colleague who was desperate to go to Cornwall to see the eclipse. Then he had clouds, while those of us who stayed at work in Sussex got a perfectly clear sky to see a very nearly total eclipse.)

Total solar eclipses or even nearly total are so rare. They do come in batches though and there is one this year crossing Europe and again next year. As mentioned previously I have booked an ordinary package holiday for next year's in Spain.

Enjoy your trip and may the force of Electroverse, Tesla and Ionity be with you :)
