Train-ing

Not about running or going down the gym but how we intend to get to our start point in Hendaye on the 21st July 2007. This week we booked out trains to get us there. Not flying I hear you cry? Well. apart from it being a bit tiring on the old arms, we decided that it would be better to go direct, and arrive first thing in the morning so we could start the trek immediately without losing a day. First Great Western have offered us two tickets to London, thank you very much, so we booked ourselves on Eurostar and then have a connection in Paris before traveling overnight on a French "couchette" to Hendaye. As the prices are so low in France for rail travel we decided to splash out and are traveling first class, at a cost of only £40 each! So come the 20th July we will be rolling along to our adventure.
