Our Proposed Route

I have attached our proposed route - this is just the outline and will change as the whim takes us. Mike & Julie - some old friends, live in Condom in France and we are hoping to stay with them for a night or two to do our washing and to make some in-roads into their wine cellar. In Le Barcares some more old friend (Mike & Jenny) have an appartment where we plan to rest for a week before returning to Devon.

Atlantic to the Mediterranean - Ferrol to Le Barcares

Gilly and I are preparing for our European adventure. I am catching the Ferry to Santander on Sunday 16th September and then driving down to Tomino to stay with our friends Maggie and Paul. I will be looking after their menagerie (dogs, cats, fish and guinea pigs to name a few) whilst they are in Cyprus for a couple of weeks. Gilly will join me at the end of the month after Katherine, our youngest,  has produce our 11th grandchild. In early October Paul and Maggie will take us to Ferrol in  Northwest Galicia when our adventure will begin.







We plan to cycle from Ferrol across the north coast of Spain, sneak into France near Bayonne and then meander across France to Le Barcares on the  Mediterranean where we will spend a week in a friends appartment relaxing.

In 2011 I set of for the last leg of my North Sea Cycle route. I caught the train to Hull and cycled of northwards. My niece Sally, joined me in Edinburgh and stayed with me for about 9 days. Gill joined me in Abredeen and cycled through to John O'Groats, the Orkney's and we completed the journey at Muckle Flugga on the northern tip of Unst in the Shetlands.

Bergen to Esbjerg 2008

In 2008 an old school pal, Pat Scott, and I set of for Bergen for the second leg of my North Sea Cycle Route. The route is about 6000km through 7 countries. It starts in Bergen and finishes in the Shetlands following the coast right round the North Sea.

From June until August Pat and I cycled from Bergen around the coast of Norway into Sweden then across into Denmark finishing in Esbjerg - about 2,300KM
