Welcome to the United Kingdom, Great Britain and welcome to England!
Whether you took the boat from Calais or Dunkirk, or you took the Eurotunnel, this route is just a warm-up. The first route point is past the Eurotunnel exit, so when you arrive by boat, set your navi to drive to the Start and you will pick up the route there.
Today there is about 150 kilometers planned and it takes about 3 hours without stops,
Time enough to get used to the left-hand drive, the English and the English landscape and the beautiful coastline where the majority of this tour will take place.
We drive through villages and towns such as Romney (RP4) where you can learn about the rich smuggler history and why the Romney Marsh Sheep is such a strong and successful sheep breed.
The next village is Rye, a picturesque and photogenic place, which also has a rich history. One of the links at the bottom tells more.
I recommend that you take a moment in Hastings, and take a look at the Shipwreck museum over the coast and then continue your way to eat at Beachy Head Pub (RP13) and immediately enjoy the beautiful coastline. to enjoy.
The White Cliffs that are so typical of this part of England, can be seen in various places, but most beautiful at Belle Tout Lighthouse, (RP14).
We sleep in Heathfield tonight, at least I did in 2012.
Take some rest, tomorrow we are going for the real driving!
