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
