face="Comic Sans MS">I also intend starting my 2003 pilgrimage in NW
France. In 2002 I walked the Camino Francais from Roncesvalles. This
year I'm intending to walk double the distance starting from St. James Church in
Torpoint, Cornwall, England on Sunday Sept 7th across to Plymouth Devon the same
day and over to Roscoff, Brittany on the overnight ferry - in a reclining
seat. I'm 65 and a pensioner so I have to watch the pennies.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">So far I have discovered that there is a good
canal towpath to walk from near Brest to Nantes. Also from Bordeaux to
Biarritz I can walk the 140 mile beach, initially in pines behind the dunes and
later on the beach itself. Have ordered a copy of IGN Map 903 which shows
all the long distance footpaths in France, with the aid of that map i should be
able to join up the dots between Nantes and Bordeaux. Biarritz to St. Jean
Pied a Porte us another small section I need to gather info on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Will now be researching whereabouts of Gites
D'Etape on or near the route. Also camp sites as I will be carrying a tarp
so that I can camp out.</FONT></DIV>
