Yesterday was wonderful! We left Rob clearing up our camp at Chimay and made our way across to Recroy, a wonderful little Garrison town where we had our much longed for (and only) beer of the day in its centre. The town is surrounded by an unfilled moat and has bridges at its entrance and exit. From there we headed for Revin which was to be our start of the River Meuse all the way down to Charlville Meziere some 4 hours away. However we had the Valley Misere to get through first...Yikes. We missed it ! and instead hurtled down a six mile hill .Yes DOWN all the way and screaming with laughter all the way down to the little mining town of St Nicholas. Not far from there was Revin which we weaved through. We are getting pretty good at this weaving lark! and the start of the Magnificent Meuse. It was truly wonderful. Passing through little villages on the way, Lock after lock. We met Rob at some point reading his book very peacefully on the bank of the river having driven there. After a total of 54 miles we treated ourselves to a meal in the very pretty centre of Charlville Meziere only a 15 min walk from the camp site.
We knew that after all the down hills and flat riding we were in for a shock today. More of that tomorrow
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.
