A very enjoyable trip and we are all very keen for more similar cycling trips away. Tro Bro Leon is an event which is very easy to reach from Roscoff and our only slight regret was that we did not choose to ride the whole way as many other cyclists from England had done. Next time we might go without a car although the ability to easily take lots of spare clothes and buy food and drink to take back on the ferry was very advantageous.
We really enjoyed our trip despite missing out a little of the final section of the full King Alfred's Way route. 350 km is a long way over three days of predominantly off road cycling.
