The journey begins...

Ordering on-line can be great,
As long as you don't have to wait.
The tent did arrive
At a quarter to five
Just 24 hours too late!


We made it! 750 metres from the garage to our very first ferry crossing - the great and famous Torpoint ferry, sailing across the Tamar river to Plymouth. It takes 7 whole minutes...

And you're bike is you're own responsibility.
Not like on Brittany Ferry's where it is secured down for you by men in dayglo jackets who have under gone adequate training...


Just want to mention that we have already raised over £1000 for the "Water for Lake Bunyonyi" charity, and we've only cycled about a mile so far.
Fantastic! Thanks so much to everyone, we are amazed by all your generosity and support.
We hope to cycle at least another mile tomorrow...

  1. Hello, Julie and Steve! It was a pleasure to meet you at Roscoff station yesterday morning. I hope the trip to Nantes went well and that you're off to the cycling part of your great adventure. What with the excellent trip preparation (eating and drinking in the best Cornish establishments), no doubt the cycling will be easy. I'll follow along on your blog. Safe riding and have fun! Marion
