Having just made the ferry in Plymouth for our overnight crossing to Roscoff. We roll off the ferry and straight onto La Velo Maritime, also known as Eurovelo 4. We will be following much of the Eurovelo 4 route across Brittany and into Normandy, as we make our way to Cherbourg over the next 5 days. Averaging around 100km a day, we aim to camp along the way, with one Airbnb stop to recharge our electrical equipment.
Eurovelo 4 stretches across Europe from Roscoff to the Ukraine apparently, so we were looking forward to sampling one of the longest bike routes in Europe. It is over 5000km long and visits seven countries and takes in 21 UNESCO sites along the way.
But first a stop at a Boulangerie for breakfast!
