Yeah we took the plane back to London, it's very close to the city center and you can get a bike cardboard box direct from the airport for the princely sum of €20 (but it's there and convenient).
Poor guys sitting next to us!
We had an outline of what we wanted to do each day and the area where we'd like to bivy. We did a mix of wild camping and proper camping and I had an hotel night in Briançon when I found myself stretched out at the front and with a developing cold. But it could have been adapted depending on how we were doing etc.
Sounds good then assuming I can get my lazy arse into gear and ride my bike a bit in the next couple of months. Getting home from Nice might be a challenge now the night train has been killed off though.
