Day 20 8/8/16
61 miles (Poudrentais to Parc Lann or Bono) Average speed 10.8 mph Top speed 78.2 mph
After a good nights sleep and a hearty brekkie of Camembert and tomato baguette, set off to cross Barrage d’ Arzal but it was closed, so I went back to Roche Barnard. Not a bad thing as I didn’t have to climb up the hill the Satnav sent me down by mistake yesterday! Overtook the four French guys I’ve camped with at least twice now. One was walking up the hill! I don’t do walking! Across same bridge but stunning views so I didn’t mind.
On at a fast pace on main roads to Muzillac, where I had a drinks rest at a lake and saw pike. Also saw couple from a few days ago in a Carrefour. Lunch at a lake with painters and fisherman.
I was going for a long one today, all the way to Lorient but the rain came, so I stopped at Bono.
There I met the same English couple as last nights campsite, who have a great set up of campervan with a yacht on top.
smoked salmon salad – raised in Scotland
Over budget as camping €11.20. (Astronomical!) just having a beer at Le Clam and then back for dinner of smoked salmon salad and new potatoes. My diet is improving.
Cranked up the music and had a little dance while cooking. Fire was blazing with pine cones and got 10 percent charge. Still no wifi but I’ve discovered if you pay €11.20 you get loo roll. Well worth the extra bucks.
