Default Admins Trip to Normandy

I've just written up my recent trip to Arromanches in Normandy. It's on the main site. Look in current news.

John

Blimey John,

You must have been pootling around there when I was passing through. Was in Normandy evening 21st, and all day 22nd, riding along the coast from Le Havre.

Looks like a great trip.

A fantastic trip John, one I intend to do myself one day. My dad was there in June '44.

Thanks for those kind words. A set of photos on their own only goes so far, a bit of text fills in the gaps and paints a more complete picture.
