Bit of a random one, just come back from a 2 week 600miler (proabably about 300 miles if you go straight!) in France from Dieppe to Bergerac (it's amazing where you end up when you plan nothing!). Had a fantastic time in a leaky tent and at least 3 boulangeries a day! If anyone wants any help/info (routes, campsites, hillls to avoid!) i will be happy to oblige.
We took the bikes on Transmanche (now LD lines) on the way there and flew back with a reasonably priced FlyBe flight, both of which were excellent and very helpful.
We covered anything from 35-70 miles a day with all our stuff, mainly doing long days to get south in search of the sunshine!

whats the best place to map out our route? i began to do it on google maps and then saved it and the majority had dissapeared somewhere!
we did travel on through some great places and along great routes, a 70 mile route down the river Vienne was a particularly great route
