Hi Toby,
The first time i shipped out to Spain I boarded the ferry on a friday evening in Portsmouth more than a little worried about what lay ahead. Need’nt of worried as Merv the Swerve took me under his wing along with Terry from Framptons. After lots of drinking on the St malo ferry we left on Saturday morning(A little hazy) and they proceeded to show me all the places to stop from St Malo to Irun for coffee then a Sat night in Irun showing how the Engish truck drivers did a sat night 
. Apart from passing on the road I never got to stop again with him but still think back and smile.

A geniune bloke,it is every man for himself now,i used to buddy up and run in pairs,if met a brit driver coming off the ferry.
Not sure if he still alive or not?
