in case you hadn't guessed already we're very much in the planning stages. however 15th July start is 'set'. plan is to drive via dover / calais which I'm sure will always have some capacity especially during the night (always used to be that way at least?).

looks like we'll be taking a tent then..... a serious note however - does anyone know if many (or any) of the Albergues allow for small tents? while I don't recall seeing any I seem to think this is an option at a large percentage of them?- blind fool

correct. although it was October last time and reasonably quiet. my concerns this time is we'll be the other end of the spectrum - add to that, I understand cyclists are generally not given first dibs. and another photo for those that like the photos :)- blind fool

🤔 not sure I can count that high. lets just say it was quite a lot. obviously sometimes / areas more than others, especially in the later stages. here is in my opinion an example of how blessed we were (see photo). being in mind it was early October this is what we were greeted with on the...- blind fool

Kirkie, sorry for such a slow response. yes back safe and well. the slower version is on ice for now as you can imagine. life in generally seems to be slowing down and not just because of covid-19. a return is very much on the cards but not sure when that will be. I'll try and up load some...- blind fool

Napoleon Route Closed.
I'm all for safety etc but having riden this route only a few weeks back I'm struggling to understand how it becomes presumably too dangerous so quickly and where? Closed to absolute beginners but to someone with a little experience I just don't get? (I'm not saying it's wrong - I just don't get...- blind fool

We found it, got our passports stamped and by the time we'd got the bikes ready, car parked up etc it was circa 6pm. with a little too much optimism we headed...- blind fool

Thank you. And yes already thinking about a return based on a slower pace. The evening catch up with other pilgrims has been great even if the days have been a little frantic. Several hundreds of miles to cover now in a hire car.- blind fool
