Day 0
Hot morning, reminiscent of France to me. Cycled to Meadowhall and got on the bus. Sea fret at Dover, and cold. France warm. Got fed up with the inflight movie quickly - couldn' t get the tune to "2 little boys" out of my head. Interesting to drive thro France with no responsibility at all for driving or navigating. Comfortablish coach with alimost enough legroom... difficult to sleep, even with earplugs andcushions. Sadly my lovely retirement gift of a blowup cushion (thanks to all who contributed) didn't last the whole night.A mixed clientele on the bike bus, but a lot of grey hair - apparently they have the time for this sort of thing.Stops every few hours, s o a bit like a 24hr flight with motorway service stops. Eventually hit bouchons near Bordeaux and arrived Bayonne only 1 hr late. Cumulative 7.5 miles.
