    Good on ya mark, good on ya! Remember to enjoy it, roll with the punches and don't sweat the small stuff. I'm pretty sure you have planed for almost everything, all that's left is to turn up for your flights on time. Buen Camino

    Biking St Jean to Santiago Sept 2017

    I know Jenny I'm devestated, couldn't be helped a bloke in a BMW decides to do a U-Turn right across my path, I'd nowhere to turn and hit the car side on. I've had to put everything on hold, but I'm still hopeful I'll make it for sept Jenny ... fingers crossed !!!!!! You never know !

    Biking St Jean to Santiago Sept 2017

    Hi all, Reluctantly I might not be able to complete my trip as I was involved in a collision 4 weeks ago. I've just had to have surgery on my left shoulder and as a result, it has left me with huge scar a lot of pain and 6 weeks of physiotherapy. I might have to be a realist and say bye bye to...

    Biking St Jean to Santiago Sept 2017

    Hi all, Just read a post from a unfortunate pilgrim who was verbally and to a point almost physically abused by a cyclist, just because the cyclist had some sort of twisted sense of entitlement whilst cycling the route( in the wrong direction I might add) its really really upset me. As a human...

    Biking St Jean to Santiago Sept 2017

    Hi Jenny , Yes indeed we are!, hoping we all get the chance to meet up for all or part of our journey. The only reason I chose Bilbao was due to the advice from a Spanish colleague of mine, as I told it's easier to get to Pamplona from Bilbao but the further I research it's looking like it...

    Biking St Jean to Santiago Sept 2017

    Hi Sol, Just purchased my sung-pack lightweight sleeping bag yesterday, next it's the bags. Which leads in to your question perfectly, Bike packing is a new-ish (minimal) travel system being used by a lot of "bikepackers" these days. One of the companies is called appidura and seem to be one...
