After much faffing about, I have now booked a one way flight to Bordeaux and plan to take my Tricross with me and cycle back to the channel coast. Once I get to the channel, I will concern myself with getting back to Ayrshire by boat/train/bus.
I suspect that the cost of getting home will be substantially more than the cost of getting to Bordeaux. £99 Glasgow to Bordeaux via Gatwick, with British Airways (so as long as I can keep the bike within the 23kg baggage allowance it goes free). Scotrail wanted £160 for a return to Portsmouth!
I have about 17 days to get myself home. La Rochelle is a must, other than that my route is flexible and open to suggestions. Somewhere between 50 and 80 miles per day, as I will be carrying a tent and sleeping bag (whether or not it gets used is another matter, I like my showers and a comfy bed!).
