Hi All. Got my s/h Dawes Karakum today, ready for next years Roscoff-Santander camping tour via Brest/Nantes canal and West Coast down to Spain. Will be going in late May/early June. Big consideration is the best direction to go in due to the prevailing winds then. Seems like they are westerlies off the Atlantic so either direction may be OK. Or should I go Santander-Roscoff? I prefer to hit "flat" France first so that I have plenty of miles in legs before "lumpy" Spanish north coast. Grateful for any advice on this. I think many of you have done a similar route before. Thanks, Chris.
