Hux, done it, no.
However a mate did a couple of years ago with his son. He said it was mainly quiet country lanes with the occasion ride across a field. I recall him saying it was all signposted. They both took road/touring bikes.
I'm thinking of doing it later on in the year weather and time allowing.

No, although in a week I should hopefully be trundling back along the french coast leg of it after a lap of Brittany so I hope it's good!

Hey Andy, ye i remember lots of bike signs when I did the Normandy beaches with Mike. I bet there's loads to go at. Slight change of plan, heading to Caen tomorrow then a loop into Brittany and back from St Malo. Hope you get the weather Matt, going to be changeable for me I think. Should be fun anyway :grin:
