My Furry friends

Good to be back on this fine site, well done chaps, Im quite interested in the old bike bus, but will they take pets as I'm bringing a few friends along for the ride and dont particulary want to leave them behind for the French to cook

A tour of the Peak District

A tour of a snowy (and very cold) Goyt Valley, Cat and Fiddle and back to Kettleshume, 2 hours 20 minutes of cycling, 19 miles and 1,000m of climbing.

Cycle Express - the best way back from France?

How about taking the bus back?

Rennes to St Malo - local train?

146 miles from Nantes to St Malo, or 2 days worth of cycling I'd guess. How about we get the train from Nantes to Rennes and then local train or cycle distance from Rennes to St Malo?

Cheers,

Mike

Corail lunea?

Sleepr train from Narbonne, close to Bezier? Gets us up to Paris for under £20 if we book early enough. I've never travelled by sleeper but would love to give it a go.
