Chรขteau de Saumur ๐ฐ Beautiful ๐ซ๐ท The Loire River is where I spent most of my day ๐ตโโ๏ธ The Loire is the longest river in France at 1,006 Kms. My #wildcamp spot was very secluded! ๐๏ธ Houses about 20m away. They had no idea ๐คฃ #bicycle #cycle #France
Onto the V49 route. All very quiet after the EV routes. I always like to search out the local ‘Marie’ (municipal council). Every municipal has one ๐๏ธ Even small towns. The Marie’s sum up the #French ๐ซ๐ท keep it local ๐ค Found a cracking #wildcamp spot ๐๏ธ #bicycle #cycle ๐ด
Woke up, thought nope ๐ตโโ๏ธ rest day! ๐ค Freshen up clothes #wildcamp style ๐๏ธ I’d purchased a new knife* at #Decathlon back in Tours. Think I’ve nailed my mapping transfer ๐บ๏ธ @ridewithgps #ridewithgps #Garmin #bicycle #cycle #France ๐ซ๐ท *see thread below
… New #knife due to UK border security deemed my Gerber (lock knife) a threat to take on board the ferry โด๏ธ I pointed at all the motorhomes lined up with no doubt a full set of kitchen knives ๐ช๐ช๐ช I’d a placard shoved under my ๐ ‘lock knife’ = threat, told ‘that is the rules’ ๐ฌ๐ง
Love the time ๐ the French take to decorate their redundant ‘Velos’ ๐ด I’m ways interested in the old traditional properties ๐ก Another awesome #wildcamp Very secluded and quiet ๐๏ธ #bicycle #cycle #France ๐ซ๐ท
… A week ago I stocked up on my gas at Decathlon as I couldn’t find anywhere else thinking the big bottle was due to run out. The dam thing is still working ๐ง I NEED the space ๐คฃ #gas #jetboil #Coleman
On the rd by 0715 ๐ Twilight. Blissful ๐คซ 1st ๐ง๏ธ๐ฉ๏ธ๐ง๏ธ I cowered under my tent footprint. It bucketed down ๐ Still fascinated with the ‘Marie’ ๐๏ธ #Wildcamp spot I had the choice of two spots ๐ค #bicycle #cycle #France ๐ซ๐ท
