Day 1 - Have wheels, will travel

Don't ask what the weight of this rig is. I can say, its VERY heavy !! Takes some skill to control the beast. Leaving London in rush hour was better than I expected
Chandre de Jager
Quite a load there! Reminds me of when I would have all my groceries in a basket upfront and a wriggling four year old on the back. 😃 Look forward to following your trip. Take care, Pat. xxx

Route from London was past Heathrow, then onwards into the country. Pushed further than planned. Weather was good, "make hay when the sun shines" as these okes would say.

Much quieter roads today. Only one problem, when planning a route, what you can't see is the profile. Had a serious work out today. Was topped off by rain and headwinds the last 3 hours.
Plymouth - UK

No cycling today. Relaxed in Plymouth and a short ferry ride over to Cornwall

All ready for the next leg. Shops are mostly closed in France on Sundays so went shopping for some provisions to see me through 2mrw.
Chandre de JagerWe spent three weeks in Brest and it rained every single day! Enjoying following your trip, Pat. Sharing your pics with Gran.

So today was challenging with my Garmin failing on me. Have backup paper maps for now. Nonetheless found a campsite and settled in for the evening. Coluldn't take to many pics with all the rain.

For once no rain. Used the bike as a mobile washing line to dry some kit. Garmin behaved so all good.
Nantes - FR

Bit of R&R and sight seeing in the town today. Looking back, I've covered 380km since arriving in France, all of my route thus far has been following the Brest - Nantes canal. Building started in 1811もっと詳しく

Another big 150km. First view of the Atlantic ocean. No more canals to follow, more like marsh land and pine forest. Crossed the causeway (Passage du Gois) to the island of Noirmoutier which you canもっと詳しく

Got to camp early, washed the bike, took a stroll on the beach, chilled by the pool
La Rochelle - FR
2016年5月28日, フランス ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Seems to storm in these parts like clockwork at 4pm (like the Highveld used to). Have to drink very slowly with the price of beer in these parts ! The price one pays to take shelter out of the rain.
Rochefort - FR

Started off late today being unsure what to do as rain was threatening, and wind was up. As it turned it it was an easy 40km Sunday ride, assisted by a tail wind.

Another very WET day of cycling, and another lesson learnt. So it's a public holiday here in France, and there is NOTHING open (much the same on Sunday's). Going to have to restock with provisions inもっと詳しく

Had to change my brake pads before starting this morning. Great to be able to stop my beast now with the new pads !

Biarritz - FR

Finally summer has arrived in southern France !! Came across a seaside village early in the ride where the dunes are engulfing the dwellings. Must be some serious winds here to move all that sand.

Another sweltering day from sunrise to sunset (21:20). After two nights in a hostel dormitory, the campsite tonight is going to seem quite peaceful. Not a bad view either :)
Pedal AfricaLooks like a fantastic spot..... obviously the robbers don't have fast cars .... great weather
