I arrived back home in Yorkshire last Friday (21 May). I had cycled from
here to Santiago de Compostela ( leaving England from Portsmouth to St
Malo -- 2340.4 Km on my trusty velo) and then spent about 8 days returning
by train, car and Euro Bike Express. It was an unimaginable experience.with
an awful lot of rain, cold, snow and wind in Spain---. But I did it in 3
weeks shorter than planned

Now I must prepare for the strawberry season in about a months time and get
back down to bottling several 23 litre batches to free up for the summer
season fruits

I am a bit at a lost and finding it difficult to settle back into a normal
routine after 6 weeks living totally self contained on my velo!

Trevor,

How on earth did you carry 6 weeks of wine with you on a bike trip?

OT or not, cheers to you for having adventures like that. The only adventure
I had akin to that was a solo motorcycle trip with quite a few miles of
hiking thrown in. There's nothing quite as satisfying as carrying everything
you need for (in my case only 2 nights) 6 weeks of adventuring.

Nice work and welcome back.

Now bottle that damn wine!
