A gruelling day of 80 miles after three consecutive difficult days has left Luke and Jane drained. Jane was extremely unwell last night, unable to sleep or rest.

The pain in the lower back is intense. A continuing cycle of exercises all night and bath at 4am did little to alleviate the pain.

There was an option for Jane to shorten today's distance and cycle straight to Calais but she preferred to take a route through Ypres and Dunkirk.

The route into Belgium made a change with a different language making the road directions more difficult to follow.

Jane will have to rely on will power to continue the journey. No matter how many times you visit Calais it fails to disappoint. It has a pleasant beach but the town itself lacks a structure and appears soulless.

It seems a little odd for Jane to making the journey back to England tomorrow, but it will be good to have her back on home soil.
