Evans on Tour - Day 1: Morlaix

Having arrived en France and fixed my puncture we made leisurely progress to Morlaix to find the festival de terre et mer in full swing. After the requisite stop at the café du choice for recovery drinks we checked in to our hotel, washed shorts, and out for moules et carafe. Tomorrow beckons.

Evans on Tour - we're off!

A flat front tyre before we even left the house, but it kept enough air to get to the ferry; let's hope for a flat crossing. Left the kids asleep and the house tidy - will it be standing in 2 weeks?

France - day 6

A blustery day of intermittent squalls saw us take to the voie vert to Carhaix, where we partook of the de rigeur café au lait, and thence to the Nantes-Brest canal all the way to Chateauneuf-du-faou where we stopped for . . . yes you guessed it. A bit harsh on the derrier but peaceful and hardly a soul to be seen except the kingfishers and (at one point) the cavalry.

France - day 5

Another day to see the Tour Rode some of the route; closed roads, people clapping . . . until we got slung off by the gendarmes. Watched the caravan through and lost our dignity beating kids and women to the free tat thrown out. On to Callac by back roads to meet Andy and John who were across for the day. Very windy return.
