Sunny and hot. Woken early by passing traffic causing ropes to squeak. Sepp off Johanna said the same, so Olly tied directly on to Johanna and took the loop off our back dolly so he was tied direct to the bank. I rang the French scrap dealer by the border for Olly to see if they bought scrap batteries, yes they did, so Mike took Olly and his batteries to the scrap dealer’s just over the border in France, Sepp off Johanna went too as he wanted some steel. Olly got paid for his scrap batteries, but Sepp couldn’t buy the steel he wanted. They called in a large Belgian “off licnce” where Olly and Sepp bought some beer. A police car followed them back into Antoing and pulled up behind the car. The policeman got out to tell Mike that he shouldn’t have turned directly left into the car park, he should have gone round the island first and come back to it as he had passed the sign for the island – he could have given him a 100€ on the spot fine, luckily for him he had a telling off instead! (It was almost a normal left turn with the offset island well displaced on the far side of a six way junction, an enormous area. Ed)
