On Tour in Norway, France & Jersey
Refreshments in Rouross, Norway
Every now and then we like to leave East Kent and try some of the fine beers Europe has to offer. Our tours have taken us to Norway, Holland, France and a very fine Beer Festival in Jersey. First Some photos of when i worked with some very nice people at Breeze AM in Essex, Sussex and Surrey.

Pictures above of the Breeze crew on tour in Norway, We did do some work as well I took my breakfast show to Roros and Trondheim. Below and this time it's off to the Jersey Beer Festival that happens every September. The festival takes place in the Peoples Park in St Helier.

You'll find well over a hundred fine beers from all over the UK and beyond, and you'll receive a very friendly welcome as well.

Gorey on Jersey
As you can see, it was not all beer over the few day we spent in Jersey. We did do some sightseeing as well. Jersey has some lovely little seaside villages, one we went to is around 7 miles from St Heilier, and that's Gorey. Gorey is well worth a visit. Buses run from St Heilier about every 20 mins or so. You'll also find a very good Golf course here.
Poor Toms full up!!

A fine day in France was had by all. Now to round off the day nicely we all went back to a wonderful pub in Deal called The Hoy. Jeff the Landlord keeps a fine pint of Master Brew and Spitfire, both beers brewed here in Kent.

October 11th and the poor French had to put up with us going to Calais for the day. Visited some great places to have some French and Belgium beers, and if you like garlic Mussels try The London Bar.
