were you peddling in a barn -stable?
The longest pub crawl in history.
How many Wetherspoons did you stop at on Lejog?
Let's see...
Barnstaple - The Panniers
Chepstow - The Bell Hanger
Hereford - The Kings Fee
Oswestry - The Wilfred Owen
Westhoughtom - The Robertshaw
Kendal - The Miles Thompson
Perth - The Capital Asset
That's the sum total of all the Spoons I visited en route to the top.
Interspersed with little boozers and off-licenses along the way of course.
I wonder if France has anything other the quaint little bar-tabacs in which to wet the whistle...
That trip is booked. Hendaye to Haselmere is etched in the diary for early next year.
Then we move on to the mighty Mekong.
Oh yes, we fucking do indeed.
Hendaye the ole Palombe Bleu closed by the filth

mimizan in the dusty Landes fierce winds and insects poss, loads campsites
At that pace
Soulac, nono more choice of digs across the ferry in blaye with nice views of the Nuclear Power Sta and the Medoc vineyards
If Sant Genis de Saintonge is on route good cafes and routieres also Pons or will you hug the coast?
Loulay is worth a detour for Chez Jo in the main Square
Brittany of course deserves a month at least for the lambic and Fest Noz
Got a week to do the whole trip - includes train from London to Spain, ferry from Roscoff to Plymouth, and if I still have time pedalling from Plymouth to London.
Soulac digs already booked.
The whole route clings to the Atlantic.
I will be watching the sun set over the ocean with an average of six local beverages an evening.
