Can't speak a word....Peg doesn't really, unless theres another Greek around. Occasionally my son might ask. However, I have expressed that baby must learn

I know I've deffo ridden to Fouras, got pics of the scenery and old forts at tide out somewhere.
Wherever you end up I'm sure you'll love the place.

BTW if you stray into Rochefort, its really old and Napoleanic, just watch out for the local Napolean aged women and their very old 'Dolly cars'

Cheap Panniers - Oxford 1st Timers - From Argos @ £45.

Not the best panniers, but quality is good, fit it ok, good cheap bags which will do the job. Even with my Oxfords, I plan on sticking everything in bin bags anway.

Tank Bag - Lidal - Was gonna get one for my dad. Again not the best quality, but for £20 it can't be knocked. Good map viewing area etc.



Best advice for France.

1) Always say thankyou to the drivers who dive out of the way
2) Good pace through back roads, but when you come to a village, slow to 30mph. Old Frenchie police don't mind you from town to town, but through the towns and villages, they will bum you if your speeding.

God I can't wait for June.
