If your crossing the Channel in.....

.....the next hour or two look out for Codders. He is on his way to Weymouth.

I am sure we will find out how the trip went in the not too distant future.

I guess he should be ashore by now!

Did anyone spot him on the webcam?

Bon voyage, Vince!

Shame - despite all the mickey-taking I expect there would have been some who would have met up with him as he came over.

Just waiting for the pics now.

Richard - nice headlines job!

How do you want your hat? Fried or boiled?

Looking forward to hearing the story Codders.
