Before heading out to Vive La France we went on an adventure a bit closer to home. We rode up to Castle Rising Castle, one of the largest, best preserved and most lavishly decorated keeps in England, surrounded by 20 acres of mighty earthworks. This historical monument of course impressed us all very much and also lent itself excellently to some typical DOB London pics…

…and then the absolutely fantastic club trip to France.  We spent a long weekend exploring the Pays de Calais region and visiting interesting historical sites.  We also enjoyed really good weather, for the time of year.. freezing, but generally dry so that’s always very welcome.
