Morlaix to Pontivy

We took trains from Ponterson, near Beauvoir  to Morlaix - due to having to stick to trains allowing bikes we only arrived in Morlaix at 7:30pm. A taxi driver gave us directions out of town - wanting to give us a shortcut he actualky directed us down a path with a thousand stairs! This doesnt work for heavy bikes so we abbondended plans for leaving town at night since it was now 8pm. We booked into a cheap hotel and had supper at a nice Restaurant: La Marmite.

The next day we attended the town market and also spent 2.5 hours sorting out our Orange mobile phone issues. At about 12:30 we statted the days cycling and then it started raining - and its still raining 3 days later... we did 54km and then wild camped in the middle of nowhere. Next day we just did 10kms to the nearest campsite in Carhaix and enjoyed the awesome surroundings in the rain :) the following day we did 77km to Mur Le Bretagne. This was easy going - except for the rain and a mad white horse that didnt want to stop following us - I realised I cant out cycle a horse, but now I am certain of it. Today we did an easy 26km to Pontivy, and now we are just in the tent hiding from the rain - we did have delicious lunch at a local place Beef Stew the french way - I wont try and spell it.
