Hi
I'm planning to cycle from St Malo to Santander. I was inspired to do this by seeing the velodyssey website and I'm generaling sticking to that route in france. I was wondering if anyone had done a smiliar route to this and had any tips or general advice.
Thanks

    Just do it. I have not done all but many parts. Brittany can be boring following V1, especially the rail line bits but I like the canal (others do not-it depends if you are at one with nature). After Nantes the route more or less hugs the coast. La Rochelle is lovely. The ferry from Royan makes it a little bit more exciting when, perhaps, feeling jaded. Following the Landes can be tiring but the sea is never far from your right shoulder & becomes more inviting the nearer south you get. Just like Sustrans routes the V1 meanders a bit & you need to watch out for the signs at junctions etc but generally pretty good. I will be joining up the dots myself sometime after enjoying all the bits I have already done.
