Cycling UK Forum

I asked about Spanish campsites on the camping forum and someone suggested this website: https://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/resu ... unty=Spain

Okay thank you

I've looked though the index but can't find a list of any campsites in Spain. Is there one? If not can anyone recommend a website to look through? Thanks.

This website might be useful for those arranging transport for bikes on trains...https://velotrain.fr/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNh ... TUCAtDjuiA

I've done the Atlantic to the Med a couple of times now (I live in the Béarn, near to Pau) and started at St Jean de Luz and ended in Narbonne. Avoiding any hills or substantial climbs. I recommend it! If you are interested I can dig out a route that we followed?
This is a little blog I did for one of the trips...http://thewheezinggeezers.blogspot.com/

I've taken the train many times and never had to book my bike in. Most of the time you'll be lucky as long as you don't travel at obviously busy times.

I'm biased, obviously, but here in the SW is perfect for cycling. If you want cooler evenings, or days there's the Pyrénées and there's the Basque coast. If you want flat there's Les Landes. We don't get much wind either, not like towards the Med.

I just saw this on a post on FB...https://velotouring.fun/municipal-campsites-france

Surely if you’re not keen on camping and don’t want to carry loads of stuff anyway, you’d be better off risking the dodgy French cuisine?

?? Even restaurants in France?

Thanks, that's great, I'll try that

Will cycle.travel show me the length of each stage? What I mean is, if I 'add' a point, how do I know how far that is from the start for example?

Oh and nearly everyone speaks English unlike the french who refuse to.

Yawn...

Interesting icons on my computer when I opened the site today...

Did you find anything on the road rules of France as it applies to cycling?

Really, just remember to cycle on the right and don't do anything stupid
