Getting into it

10th November

Sunny 16C

Jane Tomtom took us an interesting route today as we asked her to avoid autoroutes. At one point we drove for about 5 miles down a tarmac road through the most amazing sloping crop plain that got Jc all sentimental and said it reminded him of the battle of Agincourt. His memory is better than I thought! The sun was out and it was a glorious Wishstreaming day. If it wasn' t for Gybo whining it would have perfect.

Checked in at the Des Bords de l'Eure camp site in Chartes. The maitre tent chapee advised we took a spot on the right of the camp as the gypsies had taken over the left. Apparently they are alright but they won't be invited back next year. Hmmm. Lucky we've got my bike raleigh lock, narco gas alarm and big boy Kicker dick to protect us but i won't be sleeping easy tonight.

A text came in from Lyn coincidentally just as we arrived suggesting the riverside walk into the town. I don't expect she will mind me telling you that when she last did the walk she stopped for a wee and fell in! actually she might mind! Anyway we decided to risk it and had a lovely afternoon walking around the town and we even poked our noses into the cathedral which is vey special.

The decision was taken to avoid shopping in the town and to use the trusty Claude Butler as the method of food shopping transport. This plus jc's steed are precariously stored on Wishstream's back end and both were given some admiring glances by our neighbours on the camp site. But the idea is sound. Ideal to just pedal off to the Supermarche and fill up my panniers. Then back to a bench in a wood where there is wifi whilst Jc puts the Coquille St Jacques in the oven!
