Update from Chris - Thursday 23-June


On my way after a really hectic 4 days since getting back from Scotland.  It’s nice to sit back a relax on the Virgin train to London.  All my bags went on the bike nicely and the short ride to Wilmslow station was very pleasant and quite warm.   So sit back for the next hour before having to struggle across London to Waterloo.

Day 12 - the last one

Tuesday 4th June Woke up to rain, rain and more rain! The heaviest we have had. A quick chat with the hotel reception allowed us to stay until 12:00 if we wanted to. So, a slow breakfast while we watched it sheeting down and it stayed that way until 10:45 and it cleared a bit. So off we went for our final ride, only for it to rain on us after 15 minutes.   It didn’t last for too long which was good as the legs were not push he pedals over too well (at least mine weren’t). We didn’t have far to go go today. About 21 to 25 km depending on the route we took. So as soon as we could we turned off his main road and left the car and wagon traffic to itself and stayed on country roads as much as possible, as we have for most of the trip so far.   We rode into the centre of Quimper for lunch and ended up eating a quiche under a shop awning as it started to rain again. So we decided to head for the hotel and then it rain properly again and we ended up wet through by the time we a...
