When you camp out in a field all night and get up before it's light to make some miles towards the coast and home, what you really need is a warm, bright morning sun. Yes, that would have been nice.
The D77 outside of St Pol is a great road: flat and straight, with little traffic. It doesn't dip down into villages but stays on the high ground. Unfortunately this is also where the fog stays. While the earlier main road had long cleared the D77 remained shrouded. You could hardly see 50 yards ahead. I guess it's because all the traffic movement and heat from the vehicles really does have a warming effect that soon burns off the mist. Unfortunately the D77 doesn't have that. But it really was a nice road to cycle along. Not that I could see much of it.
