England might be closed - but Brixton is open

Run back was OK on the French side as normal and we were even joined by a nice old French Mercedes 230 in the queue.

Then eight hours later we hit the sunny shores of the U.K.

First the A3 was jammed because of traffic from Goodwood Revival and two brakedowns (only one was a classic, a dark blue Volvo P1800ES).

Then the M25 Dartford tunnel was closed due to power failure - so all the traffic was told to go West on the M25 through Heathrow etc. We decided to to through London ... on a quiet Sunday night. 

Old memories of the Wandsworth one way system came flooding back as we toured the mean streets of South London arguing. I wanted the simple route - A3 all the way to the river then the A13 out. Sat Nav had different ideas but I managed to get my own way my making some mistakes and using a hunch. Even on a Sunday night Brixton was in party mode. It's interesting to see a 24 hour city close up again.

Made it home after 4.5 hours instead of three - so not that bad after all.

We also did just over 1124 miles in 10 days, which means we could have gone to Warsaw instead.
