With some exceptional contributions we have finally got out of the Somme.Richard Clarke set the pace with his 125 cycle-ride, so much that we only got to wave at the Eiffel Tower.
So through France we went, stopping at Lyon along the way to admire this UNESCO World Heritage Site http://www.lyon.fr/vdl/sections/en/.
On went the hiking boots and we started to climb our way up the Alps and made it to our second country. Italy. Finally travelling 527 miles, to rest at Sant'Ambrogio di Torino, which is in the shadow of the rather magnificent Sacra di San Michele (St Michael's Abbey): http://www.sacradisanmichele.com/index.asp

I'm really enjoying reading this blog. I've made it a tab in the Student Portal so everyday when I log into the Student Portal to do some mundane admininstrative task I can catch up with where we are (and remind myself that I need to get out and cover some miles).
