Day 1
An admin and positioning day from Cardiff to Portsmouth.
Got up to the first dry ish day for 4 days. Result and hopefully a good omen.
Breakfast on the holiday inn (do that’s lunch sorted too). Bimble into work to collect bike the ride back to hotel, pack and go.
It’s been a bit like the old animals crossing the river puzzle. Leave boots here, go here collect this, back and load this etc. Happily at no stage did I end up on the bike in only my Y fronts so another result.
I’ve enjoyed walking 5 miles a day in and out of work, only bottled once with 0.5 to go when it lashed down so I got a ride in a mates car.
Tea break was with old mate in Bradford on Avon. Place called Merkins Farm. Lovely and very bike suitable, rural and good parking. The waitress selection process seems to centre around, “big top bollocks........you’re hired”.
Made ferry easily, just a little rain around Salisbury but safari sagoodeee.
Plan tomorrow, exit St Malo and blunder south ish,,,,,,,,
Until then.....
