Only going for one night and it's less than 10 miles away.
How the hell do I amass so much crap that I need all this and I've not even fitted the barbag with its snacks yet!

Seems to me most of you have too few saddles

This is our ride just south of La Rochelle while on the Velodysee last week

You’ve got to admire the French campsites, I have never been to a bad one, including the municipal ones

Aye, likewise. I usually use the municipal ones, although the one in the pic was privately owned, by a couple who were both called Dominic, which confused me initially.. If anyone's ever looking for a campsite near Utah Beach/Carentan I can thoroughly recommend this one, 'Camping les Baies Vert'

On the tiny island of Ulva - just off Mull, you have to catch a little ferry across .

Camped near (but not in - too spooky) a ruined village.. Breezy enough for kite flying :-)

I totally understand the spooky bit - completely unfounded but I would have done the same I think.

did you get any images of the village?

 

[mudsticks]

Yes.. Rational me that doesn't have any truck with such supernatural nonsense at 4pm, knew that primeval me can get the jitters at 4am.

The stags were particularly noisy that night, so I was glad of my decision.. Even though there were flatter bits in the village.

The tragedy being that the village was depopulated mostly by the war.. So if you believed in ghosts you could easily imagine some lost souls, wandering about, looking for home.

I've got pics of the village on computer at home.. Will dig them out.

This was the view out towards Iona from that night's pitch tho..
