Having refreshments in St-Jean Pied de Port before continuing to our hotel at Valcarlos. Making good progress and the Pyrenees look fabulous.

Day 8 Friday 13 June Aire L'Adour to Navarrenx

Showered and getting ready for meal at Hotel du Commerce, Place des Casernes in Navarrenx. Really good, if demanding ride, and we can see the Pyrenees at last (can spell it now too!) It's been a good Friday 13th. Missed being drenched by minutes, which was a surprise considering the early morning rain.

Day 7 Thursday 12 June Condom to Aire L'Adour

Had Armagnac tasting on the way today. A kind owner filled our water bottles with fresh water, then topped each up with a generous sample of Armagnac - tastes wonderful! Some major roads today which were smooth, but had we had to be very careful with the HUGE lorries thundering past. Our hotel is on a crossroads with the same road and our rooms are a the front...hoping that will drown the sound of snoring! Weather hot all day today and the beautiful clouds in the French blue skies.

London to Le Puy

Early start at T5 for flight to Lyon. Re-acquainted with the bikes. Train from Lyon to St Etienne change for second train to Le Puy. Feeling proud of route planning - so far!

Bikes assembled and tested successfully.Bike bags packaged for forwarding to Pamploma ahead of us. Washed and ready for a decent drink, supper and early night. Tipping it down!

'Stuffed' with a really good meal and unnecessary trimmings. Basic but delightful hotel.
