149744......did repairs on tents, bits of sewing etc., - Beverley drives the first 10 miles this morning, through the fields, she is very good!! The land is completely flat, there are fields of wheat and some hay, miles long and miles wide, hay cutting is going on all over the place --- hot today 40 degrees in car.....the roads are so bad we are driving on small tracks using the compass--12.30pm Beverley takes the wheel for another half hour------1.30 and we run out of tracks ending in an empty derelict village--deserted--we see a lovely watering hole but as we approach it is all dung and mud!!!!After back tracking a bit and trying another track we eventually end up at the main road---motorway---well two way traffic ......on tarmac ---lasts for 100 miles then back to potholes........
