I enjoyed the options for each day given via the phone App or physical booklet. The transportation of the bags was great and almost never an issue except for one hot day when we all wished that the luggage would be at the hotel by the time we arrived but were told it can arrive any time before 17:00.
The only reason we put #4 and not #5 had nothing to do with UTracks! We were very early in the season with unseasonably wet, cold and muddy weather, plus we clearly weren’t up to 30k a day so taxied and trained but still managed 15-20k a day, and many more hours at the castles and chateaux than the ‘walk’ suggested! Otherwise, GPS tracker and written instructions were perfect though we didn’t use the printed A3 maps and actually don’t think we could have read them with the yellow highlighter blurring the field trails - otherwise all BRILLIANT. Only slightly disappointed with last night’s accommodation - others were SUPERB, THANK YOU!
A fabulous holiday. The bikes were good, smooth organisation. The routes were beautiful rural paths and roads with little traffic, through vines, forest and crops. Hotels were very comfortable and the food at Chitenay was excellent! One chateau per day is a great way of seeing the Loire. Thanks!
