Ferries, paths and edible pets

As the subject says :-D

Sneaky cheating bugger

Yeah! My ferry shortcut made a 75 mile ride a 50 mile ride. My bum tells me it felt like 75 ;-)
Initially an awesome ride on cycle path by track/dunes/pines. Otherwise a fairly simple day through lots and lots of vineyards! Vic arrives tomorrow! I am leaving all the gear at campsite while i 'collect' her. So i will be like a stripped back racecar grrrr.

For sale

Bunker. Good views out to sea. One carefull owner. May need refurbishment as previous owner left in a hurry.

FYI-REALLY IS FOR SALE....CURRENTLY USED AS GARAGE :-)

A day of highs and lows

Emotionally that is. Woke up grumpy as didnt like campsite and my knee still hurt. But once i got going was really flying and enjoying it. Rocquefort was an interesting place although it appears wierd mental drunks dont just wander around Gloucester... Leaving the Roc was bloody impossible and had to go on massive dual carriageway bridge thingy-scary even with bike lane! After desperate attempts (and wrong turns) to avoid a second massive one i conceeded and crossed that too. I finally saw the sea today whoop whoop. All in all 8-9 hours cycling!!!
Roadkill:
Massive and too horific to describe(think tarantino) but possibly a goat.
Massive

Going mad?

Fire hydrant like a face? BTW i am at Esnades mot Charron...thats where campsite is! Lucky as Charron was crappy...off to find dinner.

I got it up

Knee by the sea

Ok so it wouldnt be me if i didnt moan about my knee. The morning was hilly and any serious inclines resulted in a wincing pain in my knee. But the afternoon was flat and no knee pain! I think credit crunch has hit this region hard as they appear to have sold all road signs. Every road junction was a guess...as i got here must be v lucky ;-)
Roadkill today:
Hawk :-(
sparrow
wafer thin hedgehog

FINALLY: Happy bday ju! Sorry cant be there xx
