It's the first time, at least this side of 2000, that I'm aware of that Bears have gone for a channel jaunt though. Surprised they had the range for it. Quite the Tour de Britain really, down the Irish coast, through the Channel and then out into the North Sea again presumably. Although how they can go through the Straits of Dover without penetrating UK airspace is confusing.

EDIT: Ah, just read the article again, they turned back in the Channel and went back up through the Irish sea, presumably were at the edge of their operational limit.
