2024 Venture: cycling from St Malo to Santiago de Compostela

NEXT

Day1: home to Portsmouth by train. (9 miles cycling)

Neil: Nervous excitement just about sums up today . A short journey to Tiverton Parkway, when I realise no hearing aids ! Jonny Nance heroically comes to the rescue delivering them just before the train left. English trains are just terrible with bikes ! Booking doesn’t work , irritated guard gets all shirty about us blocking the way . We have a problem I say as the bikes are too heavy to lift up . Not my problem says she . So we shift them . Next train is heaving . Still, we found a cracking pub in Portsmouth next to the ferry terminal. This marked the end of a fairly routine day. However Ceri fell off the bunk ladder in the middle of the night in our cabin! Fractured neck of femur I think ? But no, all ok.

      Apart from that, we slept really well and arrived at St Malo

The pilgrims route
We’ve got those shells hanging on the our panniers
All packed and ready to go

  1. Good luck to you both. My granddaughter, Abigail, has just walked the Camino Primitivo for two weeks & loved it. She started in Oviedo where she was at University for a year. She really enjoyed the experience.
