| A really enjoyable ride through the gorge. |
Phil and Paul told us that there
was a good ride from here out to the Gorges de la Meouge so decided to hang
about here for another day and do it. No hardship as it is a very good place to
stay with all facilities and no charge.
Had a morning pottering around
trying to work out why we are getting air into our water supply. Phil rang his
mate in England who works with campervans and had a few ideas to try, but no
luck at all. They mucked around for ages
running water through the system in different ways but still couldn’t get rid
of the air. So still work in progress.
Walked down to the shop and
picked up some fresh bread for lunch before heading off for our ride. The first
5 km’s were on a reasonably busy road but there was a bike lane which made it
very easy. We really are just gaining our confidence on the bikes. Rode through
a small town and then onto the Gorge Road which was pretty narrow but we
managed fine. Wound away along the gorge for quite some distance and the views
into it were pretty majestic. Turned around before the end of the road and
headed back to camp, 18kms under our belt and a thoroughly enjoyable time.
Phil came and had a beer, he has
done very little today, trying to let his wounds heal, then Paul arrived back
from his ride out to the gorge. Have thoroughly enjoyed their company. Walked
into town for our first evening meal out since being in France. Not a lot of
selection but had a nice meal and enjoyed sitting outside on the pavement people
watching.
