The alternative Route into Dover!!

If all form of transport fails use your feet!

On Saturday  as a company we set off for Dover for our Christmas treat to spend a weekend on the Fred Olsen Balmoral;oblivious of all the mayhem that lay in wait one hundred miles ahead!

We reached the other side of Oxford to be told the tail backs on one motorway were 10 to hours hours wait and the m20 was closed. We managed to get onto the A2 then was told it was grid locked into Dover. Now we had a decision did we sit winge and miss our trip or get up and walk.

We, hats scarves, gloves and suitcases started the long walk the Balmoral. On route we were told it was 7 miles..... hey ho we were on our way so no turning back now.

Walking past the stationary lorries coaches and cars was funny. The looks we had ranged from fools! to astonishment. The best ones were the waves and the horns tooting cheering us on.

Fail I did, as the coach pulled alond side I flagged and got back only to start walking again 30 mins later for the last 5 miles!!!

We got there though all 50 odd of us coming in two's and three's like naughty animals returning to the ark!

Laugh, I'm still giggling to myself but I'm one of the lucky ones no sore feet .

Here is the proof  all smiles and some more foot sore than others. The one thing this adventure of our did do was make us a closer team of colleagueas and friends
