Saint-Malo to Pamplona

It's good to have a backup battery for if it runs out in the middle of nowhere.

Good shout - though if it does I think Van, the guy I'm riding with, will just stop, sniff the air and point with utmost authority in a random direction.

He's from Borneo. It's what they do apparently.

if it's anything like overnight ferries that I've been on, bikes will be parked/locked in the car deck somewhere so you won't need to watch them. There's also normally enough space to lie down somewhere with sleeping bag and roll mat.

Reassuring, thanks!
