My advice is Don't take the Toll roads unless you are on a strict timetable, plan on taking at least a couple of days to get there, and try to see something in France on the way.
No, not too late. We're still getting packed and the removals companies have given us quotes. We just need to decide on one. As for our plans, we are going via car to St Malo (with bikes and a roofbox on the car roof with the intention of spending at least a week in Brittany. Then we'll drive down through the western side of France (if anyone can recommend good places to camp over there I'm all ears ;-)). We will then head through the pyrenees with a few days there.

After that we don't know whether to do the north coast of spain to Galicia and down through Santiago-Salamanca-Segovia-Toledo, or head to Girona-Barcelona-Cuenca. Any recommendations or opinions will be gratefully recieved.

We can't wait as its all a bit stressful at the moment!
