Day 1: Planes, Trains & the Hemming Peleton

Well we are here.

Nearly werent.

But lets just say someone may have inherited his fathers ability to guess flight/ferry times.

Hardest part today was getting into the bike bags after they were wrapped up!! Set up the bikes in Bordeaux, and caught the train to Irun.

Once in Irun we got the standard supplies and then picked up our pilgrim passports and customary shells.

We were then ready to go we set off for Urnieta, only 20km but its a start :-) Found some lovely hills however the Pilgrim Peleton did gather its first 2 fans with people wishing us well out their house window.

Time now for a shower, food, and bed.

James quote of the day:

"consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance"

Amen brother those hills are definitely testing!
