Neil : A truly lovely day cycling nearly all on dedicated cycle paths . Good tarmac often away from any roads . We are part of Velodyssie or EuroVelo 1 which runs all down the west coast of France from Brittany to Biarritz we are also seeing many more signs for the Camino now . We drop into some lovely beach resorts as we go . More cyclists too on the route too . As each day unfolds everything gets simpler . Cycle – eat- sleep repeat . Everything else fades away . How are the legs ? That left knee seems better today , must drink more water, need a beer . We pass though an area I know so well with countless holidays when my children were younger . We can see Spain in the distance now !

Mimizan beach – great place for families and surf lessons
Contis beach – more for surfers
Much better place for a picnic than yesterday’s bus stop!
Spain in the distance
Long forest trails
Camino signs appear
Finally an ocean swim at Vieux-Boucau
Air temp 18, sea temp 19.5
Shows the rips
A well earned drink after 61 miles
