France Battlefield Tour	3*

Leader: Richard Pethybridge	Start Time: 7:00 pm	Start Location: Whale Island, Portsmouth
Description: A tiny ride this one - from the RN HQ at Whale Island to the ferry terminal in Portsmouth!
Riders: David Bridge David Jackson Eddie Little Guy Pethybridge Jo Little John Davies 2 John Tranter Neil Bridge Nicole Pethybridge Richard Pethybridge Stephanie Haddrell Riders = 11 Report: Short and sweet, and even including a stop at a pub. Is this a record for the least distance covered while including a refreshment break? From the ultra-secure parking on Whale Island, home of the Royal Navy, to boarding the ferry to Caen. Or should I say Cherbourg...
Distance: 2.00 km (1.24 mi)
