So we crept along up the curb of the M23 for twenty minutes, flashing van in front, veloist behind . ..

... til we reached a place where there was an overpass, a rural lane crossing over the six-lane motorway. 'Crossing over', but not 'intersecting', if you catch my drift.

The three of us sized up the situation, unloaded the 50lb duffle bag, unhooked trailer from bike, heaved all three, bike, bag & trailer, over the 6ft chainlink fence, climbed the fence, dragged the loot up the bank through the nettles & blackberries, heaved them over another fence onto Green Lane, put everything back together, and then...

"Welcome to England,sir!!"
