We have been quite impressed with this town. What helps is a free aire of course, tarmacced, fairly flat, free dump, paid water and leccy, next to some form of clubhouse for wither cycling or football, a TO within a pitching wedge, 3 (possibly 4) routes out of town on a voie verte, were what...
Our cycling tour started today, from our lovely Tour de France 2025 emblazoned town and the free aire at St Meen Le Grand we headed out on about 3 kms of quiet roads to the start of the V6 Carhaix to SMLG disused railway line.
The surface is basically all compacted sand, not as nice as lovely...

Reading tablets (the 12 foot high stone variety) should be read...
Things could have gone better today. We decided on catching the 0750 and left Canterbury about 0520 giving us loads of time.
We then got the totally expected call that our 17/18 year old cat died in the night, 4 years to the day after my dad passed.
Ferry was good and decision made that Aperol...
Nice sunny morning but a tad fresh breeze saw me get her up and out on the bike by 1000 hrs. As we exited onto the roundabout and took the 2nd junction there is a right turn on a small lane that then meets with a cycle route 600 yards away that takes you to Canterbury.
We took a detour for a...

It is relatively important, if you like the engine of your motor, not to drive past the aire. It's only 250 m or so, yes, it's a bit uphill, but... -

We are 59 and nearing 58 and getting very close to early retirement which may come in the form of medical retirement as I have Cauda Equina and that causes back pain and prevents sitting upright or standing for about 10 minutes without immediate lieing down or walking or self physio.

Its Throunal time, A thread and a Journal. I write a sort of blog, load it up with photos, write a few words which may or may not assist somebody in the future when planning their holiday. Previous journals are in my signature of each post.
I, possibly because I have done a few, find them quite...
It is that time of year when we go on holiday and I do a journal. I call it a thrournal as I start with a journal and copy it into a thread. Hopefully others will do journals in the upcoming period as well. And the journal map is very helpful for holiday planning.
