All travel arrangements checked, weather forecasts investigated and spare pair of pants purchased!
Wendy has just cut off all my hair to reduce weight and make me go faster.
The train leaves Havant station at 07:06 on Wednesday morning to get me to Stansted for 12:15 flight to Biarritz. An overnight stay in St Jean Pied de Port and then an early start on Thursday morning over the Pyrenees into Spain.
Getting a bit excited now.
