The route

Day 1-14 Across France to the Black Forest, across Germany with Patrick

Day 15-19 A dash through Austria & the Dolomites, across northern Italy to Switzerland, back into France and down to lovely Cipieres to stay with Pam RR.

Day 20-27 Across France, via Mirepoix and along the Pyrenees to Bilbao.

Day 28-29  Jony's route home took him via our consulate in Paris to get a temporary passport while Charlie's took him, in comfort, via Plymouth rather than his intended destination, Portsmouth. Clearly we still haven't got the hang of this route planning stuff but we had a lot of fun trying!
