I did a hilly but pretty ride from Landrecie to Chimay (about 52 km) yesterday whilst Sal got our caravan (Now called Robert the Bruce or Arby for short !) safely settled in a camp in the centre of Chimay where we are staying for 2 nights. This morning i drove her to yesterdays camp site and shes cycling back as i write this. I drove her cycle route and its even hillier than mine was so i hope she turns up today !!!! She will of course, especially as we are expecting Rob sometime this afternoon. He'll stay with us for a week and support us down the River Meuse and then the hills really begin !! Internet continues to be a problem so yet again i can't post any pictures as stuck in my apple mac.One day!
We are passing a few British war cemeteries and i popped into one yesterday to say 'hallo'. On the long grey gravelly path leading down to the graves was a tiny, solitary, single red poppy. It was very poignant and i burst into tears!
The bikes are behaving beautifully. We don't have any aches and pains that can't be sorted with Voltarel Gel, the weather is lovely and the flora and fauna is glorious on these sunny May days. Don't forget to look in the Blog Archive at the bottom of the page if you want to catch up with previous posts.
bye for now!
We are good at getting lost but we do know this picture doesn't show us travelling from LONDON TO FALMOUTH, but thats where we are heading next! Waterproofs are ready and we set off on the 9th march 2012.
