My journey has begun!

Yesterday I departed from Lewes in Sussex for the ferry journey from Portsmouth onboard the Brittany Ferries ship ‘Galicia.’  Right now I’m off the cape of Finistère Brittany. No I haven’t transferred to the yacht!! Just a to the cape view on this beautiful morning!

On the ferry I have met  fellow cyclists Greg and Joy. Amazingly they are following much the same route as me up the west coast of France on the Atlantic Coast Route EuroVelo 1 (La Vélodyssée)

Tomorrow at 7am (UK time) the cycle ride begins in Bilbao!
