04 Last few days for final preparation.....

Four days until I start my 2014 tour. I began booking the first campsite yesterday using my O-level French to email the campsite in Domfront which is my first stop. €3 for a pitch which includes a hot shower and use of a common room with TV! What ...no breakfast ? !!  I'm hoping the weather stays dry as it will be difficult cycle camping in bad weather.

The world cup gets underway at the same time and I really fancy watching Spain v Holland on Friday. I think the Spanish will win the whole thing if they can stay injury free.

Today I will start to pack my pannier bags for the trip and it is always a question of what to leave behind to maximise every cm of space.

I probably need to think about suitable stops for refuelling and not to leave it too late in the day for food. The washing and drying of cycle clothes is always challenging on these trips.
